About me
Sometimes it's difficult to say what's on your mind.....
Through numerous years of experience working with people, I have come to see that no issue is too great. The difficulty comes in trying to overcome it alone
I can help you cope with difficulty and make positive change... You don't have to do it alone.
Our initial meeting will offer an opportunity to discuss specific issue's past or present, that are causing difficulty or concern. It is my hope that you will feel better informed about counselling and whether or not it is appropriate for you at this time, and also give some indication as to whether or not my approach meets your needs and expectations. I also trained in Internal Family Systems Level 1 and Level 2 which I integrate into my work with clients

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
My work in addictions especially Alcohol and Drug related issues continues to show me how these problems effect the whole family. Working with the partners and children of people who suffer with substance misuse, be it alcohol or drugs can be a very important part of the whole process. Sometimes the person with the problem isn't ready to seek help but a family member may need to talk to someone just as much as the person using alcohol or drugs.
It may be just as important for any person living with this problem to find a safe non judgemental place to come to, to talk about how they feel. The entire family are living with this problem.
