About us
Are you experiencing depression, low self-esteem and problems maintaining relationships? Are issues such as past trauma or grief, affecting your quality of life? Counselling may help you. I will provide you with a warm, confidential, safe and non-judgemental space to explore your concerns. I will listen, support and sometimes challenge you as we explore your present, your past and how the two are linked, helping you to make sense of why your emotions and to move forward when you feel stuck. It can be really overwhelming searching for the right counsellor for you, so I offer a free 15 minute consultation to help you decide if I might be the right fit for you.
I work with adult clients and offer either in person sessions in ME2 or online video sessions for those who prefer to work remotely.

Member organisations *
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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
