About me

Feeling overwhelmed, low, anxious, stressed, or stuck?

At a crossroads in your life?

Even the strongest among us can feel lost, unsure, ambivalent, or unhappy at times.

As a counsellor, I can help you understand and manage whatever life throws at you. I believe that you have the strength not just to survive, but to truly thrive.

I have experience of working with a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, loss and bereavement, low self-confidence and self-esteem, relationship and family issues. I also have an understanding of adoption issues from my work for a charitable organisation. 

I am particularly interested in work-related stress, as before training as a counsellor I worked as a solicitor in a busy commercial litigation department and therefore I understand the pressure of working in a corporate environment. In fact, it was through my own experience of work-related stress that led me to re-train as a counsellor.     

Training, qualifications & experience

I have a MA Counselling from the University of Manchester and am an Accredited Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I have over 10 years of experience gained from working in my own private practice, the NHS and the charitable sector. I am also an affiliate counsellor for a number of Employee Assistance Programmes.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
