About me
Hello, making the decision to begin the counselling process can the first step on the path to well-being, so where do we start? I welcome you to a safe, calming space free from judgement, where we can begin to explore what's going on.
I believe that counselling is a collaborative process - we work together on whatever you feel to be most important. I will support you by:
- finding ways to deal with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings you may be having
- gently helping you to explore any worries or anxieties
- working towards clarity about aspects of your life that are causing confusion
- reflecting on your past to make sense of the present
Depression, anxiety and low self esteem often result from how we learnt to cope when our needs were not properly met at different stages of life. I offer an integrative approach where we work side-by-side to understand past ways of coping and enable you to have choices; sometimes we may work creatively to make sense of what happened.
With a background in homeopathy, I have a particular interest in how our emotional states impact on our physical health and well-being.
As a qualified therapist, I am a member of the BACP and follow their Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy, receiving regular supervision from a qualified supervisor to ensure that I adhere to this framework.
I work within the limits of my training; if I feel I am unable to help you personally, I will aim to provide you with information to take the next step.
If you would like more information about me and how I work, please contact me either

Member organisations
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.
