About me
I am a fully qualified and insured humanistic counsellor with a wide range of experience helping with issues such as bereavement, anxiety, relationships, identity, stress and abuse. I offer a flexible service tailored to suit the individual including video link, telephone, in person and walk and talk therapy. I believe that we all have the strength and resources within us to find our own way through life and achieve inner happiness but that sometimes the challenges we face and events outside our control, can throw us off course.
There are times when we all need support and someone who really listens without judging us, taking time to understand how we really experience the world. We will work together to find that balance and restore your ability to cope with your life.
Training, qualifications & experience
Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling CPCAB Level 4
Certificate in Counselling Studies integrative Level 3
I came to counselling as a mature student after a career working firstly in business and then for many years in the hospice movement. I supported individuals and families living with life-limiting illnesses caring for them in their homes as part of a mobile community team. I then worked in family support, giving bereavement counselling to individuals and also to patients living with long term conditions. I also work for a national online agency counselling adults over 18 for help with a wide range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, relationship issues and bereavement.
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.
