About me
I offer psychodynamic counselling to individual adults and couples who want to understand themselves and their relationships more deeply. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in repeating patterns. Together, we slow things down and explore what sits beneath the surface, including how past experiences shape the present. With individuals, this can support a more compassionate understanding of yourself. With couples, we focus on how you relate, helping you hear each other more clearly and move out of familiar cycles. I offer a steady, thoughtful space where change can emerge over time.
In my relationship counselling I work with couples and partners who feel stuck in repeating patterns or are struggling to connect. Together we explore what happens between you, helping you hear each other more clearly and understand the deeper patterns shaping your relationship, so new ways of being with each other can be found.
I work in a warm, comfortable, private room in Farlington on the A27 just north of Portsmouth. At your FREE initial consultation we can decide whether we want to work together, followed by weekly 50 minute sessions. Having established a safe, trusting relationship we will explore your present difficulties in light of your past experiences.
Training, qualifications & experience
I gained my Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling in 2009 and have counselled in a voluntary capacity and in private practice since then. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists and as such I am bound by their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. My work is overseen by a supervisor and I undertake regular Continuous Professional Development activities.
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.
