About me

I am passionate about the benefits of therapy and the life changing impact counselling can provide.

Life can be a challenging journey and sometimes we just feel lost along the way.

You may have experienced past or recent events which have left you feeling overwhelmed or disconnected. You may recognise repeated patterns in your life that you want to change, or you may not understand why you feel the way you feel.

Having someone who understands you and helps you make sense of what is troubling you, is the beginning of change.

Having a safe, non-judgemental space where you feel heard allows you to explore what feels difficult in your world and is an important part of understanding yourself better. With more self awareness we can bring positive changes into our world, find acceptance and inner peace.

Counselling can empower you by relieving distress, helping you gain control of your emotions, and connect with yourself and others. It opens doors to allow for positive long term changes to be made.

It can be the first step of a valuable transformation .

I believe in the importance of a collaborative relationship. My aim is to work with you to help you find your own answers, in order to bring about positive changes in your life.

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.
