About me
Specialising in relationship counselling and family issues. With over 25 years’ experience, working for Relate, in education and in private practice, I cover individual, relationship and couple issues, in both indoor and outdoor settings. We explore unhelpful feelings, anxious thoughts and behaviours, using a range of different therapeutic models that best bring about the changes you want.
If you feel the need to improve a relationship or your wellbeing, gain insights and awareness and relief from your distress, please get in touch for a consultation to talk through what you would like to achieve and to see if you feel we could work together.
I often find people wonder if their own problems are somehow worthy or bad enough for them to indulge in finding help, maybe holding out for change or thinking that time will make things better on its own. My belief is that with a relatively brief focus on whatever the issue is - you can find relief and deeply significant change that allows you to lead the life you want and have the relationships you want.

I work from a shepherd’s hut in the grounds of Frampton Court Estate. This is a very natural and private site, overlooking an orchard and the landscape of the estate, making a beautiful place to work and walk from. (photos below at the end of the listing)
Walking therapy for some people is less intense, and reduces the sense of being ‘under the spotlight’ compared to a more traditional setting. And many clients benefit from moving from indoors to outdoors within the session time. The shepherd’s hut is designed to be warm, safe, quiet and private whilst being surrounded by nature that you can experience from the hut or walk in.
Thank you.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

I will always offer a consultation session - these last at least an hour.
