About me

I am a BACP Registered Counsellor working with adults (aged 18 and over), offering short-term and open-ended counselling depending on the nature of your difficulty.  I offer one-to-one counselling as well as couples counselling and relationship counselling.  The aim is always to help clients to understand the cause of their problems and support them to find the best strategies to move forward.

I don't adopt a "one size fits all" approach, but like to respond to the uniqueness of each person.  I work in an integrative way which offers the flexibility to meet individual clients’ needs, making use of a wide range of methods, tools and interventions. I view therapy as a process that creates an opportunity to become aware of inner conflicts and unhelpful patterns of behaviour. 

I respect cultural differences and individual preferences and help clients in developing enough support and insight to view the world differently and make the changes or choices that, on their own, have seemed elusive or impossible.

I offer a professional, friendly, safe and confidential space for clients to explore - in a supportive and non-judgemental environment, and at their own pace - the difficulties they are experiencing and how these affect their emotional, psychological or physical wellbeing. If you've read this far, why not take the next step and contact me for a “no obligation” chat …. you have nothing to lose.

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.
