About me
I never underestimate how daunting the idea of counselling can be. It's a very personal experience and it's important to get the right counsellor for you. My free initial consultation gives us an opportunity to talk through the issues you're facing and what changes you're hoping to make.
You may be considering counselling for all sorts of different reasons - a significant event, a relationship breakdown or to break unhealthy patterns of behaviour. Your reasons for beginning counselling may not even feel clear at the moment - for many people experiencing a general sense of unhappiness, anxiety or dissatisfaction, counselling is a way to understand the issues you're facing, and where change may be possible.
Throughout my years of experience as a specialist relationship counsellor, I have worked with couples facing a variety of difficulties. Working together, I will help you gain insight into your relationship dynamic, and an opportunity for positive change.

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.
