About me

I am a 46 year old mother of 4 adult children and 5 grandchildren. I have worked in the care sector for well over 10 years. I attended university for four years, and completed my degree gaining a BA(HONS) in integrative counselling.

During this time I have worked at the John Le Vay Centre Ipswich hospital, joint the team over at Iceni and worked for Teenage Mental Health, while still doing my own individual telephone counselling from home, I have now secured myself an office so I am currently seeing clients face-to-face, and still doing telephone counselling if required by my clients.

Member organisations

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.
