About me
All my clients want to change something about themselves or their lives. Be it depression, stress, past events or anxiety, counselling can address these and other issues.
Counselling is a safe way to explore how to change and what that change looks like. You have come this far why not take the next step and reach out to a counsellor? This could be the beginning of real and positive change for you.
If you do not try you will never succeed, if you try you might not win but you will have made the effort and that really counts.
It is never too late to change.
Training, qualifications & experience
- Qualified Counsellor - Level 4
- Member - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
- Trauma and PTSD counselling
- Online Counselling
- Suicide Awareness
- Ambiguos Loss
No 2 clients are the same and no therapy type suits all clients so I offer a selection of skills appropriate to the individual client.
My wide knowledge and reading have enabled me to successfully use Gestalt Theory, Inner Child, Internal Family Systems, Transactional Analysis, Sandbox Therapy and Non Violent Communication.
All of these qualifications and skills have been used with clients.
In previous careers I have attained a high level of academic and vocational skills.
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.

Additional information
When I am working with a client my phone is not switched on. Please leave a text or voicemail message. I will usually return your call as soon as I am free to do so, failing that I will respond within 24 hours.
Alternatively please send me an email and I will reply within 12 hours.
I offer a "bulk"discount for sessions. If you are willing to pay for 5 sessions, up front, I will provide the 6th session free of charge. Should you want to not continue with counselling before the number of sessions you have paid for have been had I will happily refund the sessions you have paid for and chosen to not attend
