About me

Counselling: A Journey of Connecting the Dots

Life can often be busy, hectic, and overwhelming, leaving us feeling lost or disconnected. During these times, having someone to support and guide you can make all the difference. As a counsellor, I provide a non-judgmental, safe space where we can work together to bring those scattered dots into focus, helping you make sense of your experiences and emotions.

About My Approach: I am trained in Person-Centred Humanistic counselling, which emphasises empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. In addition to this, I integrate other effective modalities such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), psycho-education, and Therapeutic Coaching. This blended approach allows us to tailor our sessions to your unique needs, facilitating personal growth and self-discovery.

Your First Step: To see if we’re a good fit for this journey of connecting the dots, I offer a free 30-minute consultation. This can be held online or in person, depending on what works best for you.

Get in Touch: If you’re ready to take the first step or simply want to learn more, feel free to reach out. You can contact me via  email or by phone at 07852 660944.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
