We offer counselling, psychotherapy, life coaching and personal development to individuals, couples and groups. We also give advice and training to private and public organisations, companies, and health and educational services.
How we can help you
All of us deal with the uncertainties of life in our own individual ways – but there are times when some of us benefit from reaching out and accessing the support of someone who can offer a different perspective from family or friends.
Whatever concerns you may be presently dealing with, you don’t need to feel alone. Over the years we have sensitively and successfully helped many people overcome numerous difficulties.
We always adapt a course of therapy to individual needs.
Training, qualifications & experience
Our therapists are all BACP accredited counsellors/psychotherapists qualified and insured to practise. We adhere to the BACP and/or UKATA Codes of Professional Practice and Ethics.
Member organisations *
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.

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
