About me
Counselling is best in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment. I am a registered and BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor/ Psychotherapist and I have 15 years experience in providing therapy. I work with people to reduce feelings of anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. I am also experienced in helping clients through panic, generalised anxiety, family and relationship issues, as well as a variety of other challenges such as abuse.
Being able to talk completely openly and freely about anything, and learning to think differently, can lead to permanent changes in life and are big steps in overcoming whatever problems you might face.
The number of sessions can vary depending on the individual, and will always be something that feels comfortable for you. Some people find short-term work to be the best, while others find it more helpful to have longer-term support. This is something we can discuss in the initial sessions.

Member organisations
school 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 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.

Further information
The first appointment I will initially be asking some questions to gather information to begin with (contact details, emergency contact etc.). However, most of the session (and the following sessions), will be for you to have an open space to talk and reflect.
