About me
My practice is currently available online only with sessions available using Zoom.
This enables me to work with clients across the UK and overseas.
If you are in a time zone other than GMT please note this in your enquiry to enable me to consider suitable session times.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile on Counselling Directory. Finding the right therapist can be difficult and it's important to find someone with whom you can feel comfortable and safe. I offer a truly non-judgemental and warm approach where you will be accepted as the unique human being you are. By enabling you to speak openly about what is happening in your life, I will join you in exploring your thoughts, feelings and behaviours to help you to find lasting change and a different future.
I work with a wide range of adult clients and believe that support is valuable for all. It is never too late to change or create a different life story. I offer both long term and short term work with you in control of the content and the duration: it is my role to guide and support your own process, not impose my own.
Many clients have commented that my way of working helps them to feel accepted, understood and trusted. This helps to build a relationship where clients can be honest and open about their issues and supports a depth of work where long lasting change can be found.
I also believe that there is room for humour in therapy. Smiles and laughter are hugely beneficial for our psychological health and enabling people to find joy in life is one of my driving beliefs.
I am trained to work with any presenting issue and commonly work with:
- anxiety and fearfulness
- depression and sadness
- dealing with sudden change such as bereavement, redundancy and divorce/relationship difficulties
- survivors of trauma and abuse
- lack of motivation, low energy, resilience
I enable and support my clients to lead the process as my work is underpinned by a strong belief that we all hold our own answers: we may just need help finding them.
Single -Session Therapy
For clients with a specific issue they wish to explore, I also offer single-session therapy. This requires completion of a brief questionnaire before the session. This is reviewed prior to the therapy session to enable us to make best use of the time together. Many clients have found this approach to be helpful when faced with unexpected events or dilemmas where ongoing work is not necessarily required.
Qualifications
I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Person-Centred Psychotherapy and Counselling from the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute, a Diploma in Clinical Supervision, an ILM level 7 Certificate in Executive Coaching and Mentoring and am an Accredited Mediator with UK Mediation.
I accept payment via Bank Transfer which should be made 2 working days prior to the session time.
Clients are asked to ensure they have a suitable venue for virtual sessions ensuring confidentiality can be maintained.

Member organisations
school 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.
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.
