About me
Have you been feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious or depressed? Has life felt difficult with one thing after another going wrong? Perhaps you’ve been dealing with some trauma or grief. Life can have its many challenges and it can be hard to know who to talk to without the worry of burdening your loved ones. The world at times can be a very lonely and frightening place.
Whatever your circumstances may be, there are times when we all need some emotional support to help us recover and heal. And this is where I can help.
I am a non-judgmental empathetic counsellor, who is here to provide you with support in a safe space to explore the difficulties you have in your life. This will be done at a pace that is comfortable for you. Giving you the opportunity to be heard, as well as explore the changes you would like to make. Help you figure out what is important to you and where you may have other concerns. Working together, we will explore your values, qualities, strengths and challenges and focus on how you can move forward in your life.
All sessions are currently conducted remotely by phone or online. The sessions are confidential and judgement free.

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.
