About me
Hi I am a fully qualified, experienced integrative counsellor, having worked within the NHS, the private sector and in private practice for a number of years. I use a variety of counselling approaches to suit each of my clients' needs, including CBT(Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). Most importantly, I place a great deal of emphasis on offering all my clients warmth and understanding and on developing a trusting, confidential relationship.
We can all find ourselves facing difficult situations at various times in our lives and sometimes having someone to listen is all we need. I offer a safe environment for my clients to discover and explore options, choices and ways of coping. My job is to come alongside my clients as they face life's challenges and find resolutions or simply peace.

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.
