About me
Sometimes we can get stuck in life with our problems and often feel we have no one who will properly understand. This is where a skilled listener can help you sort through difficult thoughts and emotions in a safe and supportive environment.
I know how daunting it can be to take the first step and start therapy, which is why I offer a free introductory Zoom or telephone call to explain how counselling works and discuss what you would like to get out of our sessions together. You can then decide whether my approach would be right for you and how often you would like to meet to talk. I can then also answer any additional questions you may have.
I offer a warm, empathic, respectful and confidential opportunity for you to talk freely about what matters to you. We can work together to help you explore the way you feel about the problems you are facing, and also discuss ways of moving forward with more understanding, clarity and hope.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch and learn more about how counselling can really make a difference to your wellbeing.

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.
