About me

Hello, welcome to my page. It is natural for anxiety to increase. This is something everyone could need a little support with from time to time.

I'm an Integrative Counsellor, meaning I work alongside people needing some support. I primarily work in a person-centred way, being completely non-judgemental, genuine and empathetic. I believe this is the foundation of every therapeutic relationship.

We can work in a variety of ways depending your needs.

We can use CBT  (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) methods to turn negative thought patterns and behaviours to be more positive and healthy for you in everyday life. We can also work in a Psychodynamic way, Explore past life events to see if they have shaped negative thoughts or behaviors today.

When working together, I can guarantee you will be shown with utmost respect. You will invited into a warm, welcoming and safe space which is non-judgemental, and everything shared will be completely confidential.

If interested, feel free to reach out for a chat to see if we are a good fit.

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.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
