Welcome to my page. Prior to training as a Counsellor/Psychotherapist, I worked in various office environments in the City, East and West End. These included Banking, Advertising, Legal, Medical and Insurance environments.
What to expect in your first session
I offer weekly, 50 minute counselling sessions to individuals on either a short or long-term basis online. We can after an initial meeting, set aside a regular time every week for as long as sessions are beneficial.
Sessions are confidential and I adhere to the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) ethical framework 2018
How counselling can help
Life events can be unexpected and impact on day to day living. Sometimes relationships or circumstances change and can become overwhelming.
I provide a counselling space to explore situations, thoughts and feelings that may be causing anxiety, depression and sadness. Counselling can help make us more aware of ourselves and others and lead to a sense of being able to move forward.
Please email me initially for an online appointment using a video and audio platform. I will prior to the meeting email over some further information for you to look at and some forms for you to send back. If you have any questions please email me.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
