About me
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by life's challenges, unsure of where to turn for support? I understand that finding the right counsellor can seem daunting, but I want to assure you that my approach is founded on empathy, understanding, and trust. I re-trained as a counsellor because the counselling I received in the past transformed my life, and I am deeply honoured to now offer this support to others.
As a person-centred counsellor, I work collaboratively with you, at your own pace, to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Life's difficulties can often feel insurmountable, but seeking help is a courageous step towards self-discovery and healing. My role is not to offer advice or opinions like a friend might, but to truly listen with compassion and empathy, helping you gain a better understanding of yourself and your journey.
I provide a safe, non-judgemental environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your innermost concerns, whether we connect by phone, online, or in person. Based in Peterborough, I specialize in supporting adults through bereavement and experiences of sexual violence, but I welcome clients with a wide range of issues. My diverse background, having worked in offices, the arts, and overseas, enables me to relate to various life experiences, including the challenges of loving someone with alcoholism.
What to expect in your first session
Your first session with me will be an opportunity for us to explore your expectations and hopes for our work together. We'll discuss whether a specified number of sessions or an open-ended contract suits you best, and ensure that we feel a good match to embark on this journey together. I listen with my heart and counsel with my knowledge and experience, striving to help you navigate whatever is getting in the way of living the life you want. Reach out today, and let's take that first brave step towards your well-being together.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’m a qualified person-centred therapist with a Level 4 diploma in therapeutic counselling, and I hold a Bachelor of Counselling degree.
Through my volunteer work with Northamptonshire Rape Crisis and Cruse Bereavement Care, I have undertaken specialised training in sexual violence and bereavement, and continue to do so. I have also worked with Wellbeing in the Arts, who provide low-cost counselling to those who work in the arts industries.
Please feel free to email me with any queries you might have or to arrange a first session.
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.
