About me
I am an Integrated Practices Therapeutic Counsellor, which means I use a variety of disciplines which I use to help my clients move forward positively.
I provide a warm empathic, confidential environment, where I focus on building a relationship of trust with my clients. This is important to support them on their journey to resolve their issues or achieve their goals. It is important to me that you are listened too and heard without feeling you are being judged.
I work with anxiety, depression, work related stress, Domestic abuse ( violent and coercive), relationship counselling, grief and loss, non complex trauma, eating disorders, self harm and women's issues.
I offer a free 15 minute telephone session where you can decide if Counselling is for you and that you can build a trusting relationship with me. Moving forward, I then ask that each session is paid for at the start of the session. Each session is 50 minutes long. I do Walk and Talk therapy, phone or online (zoom/ doxyme) sessions.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling; Certificate in relationship counselling; Certificate in Working with Trauma.
I actively work with Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Eating Disorders, Self Harm, Suicidal Thoughts, Domestic Abuse ( Violent and coercive), Womens Health, Dissociation, Trauma, Bereavement and Loss, Cancer, and Low Self Esteem. I empathically support my clients to safely achieve their goals and get the best they can from their lives. Providing a safe place where they can be heard without judgment is very important to me.
Member organisations

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.
