About me
I offer support to those who are seeking counselling for any reason, however big or small, and I have a particular interest in helping people overcome anxiety, childhood trauma and issues relating to life changes, such as divorce, grief, retirement.
My aim is to support you, without fear of judgement, whether you are struggling with recent life difficulties/changes, or want to explore the possible impact of longer-term problems.
As a qualified psychotherapist/counsellor I have experience working with people who are struggling with a range of issues which include, but are not limited to, abuse (sexual, physical and emotional), anxiety, childhood trauma, depression, disability, grief and loss, low self-esteem, mental health difficulties, neurodiversity, obsessive behaviours, parenthood, parental alienation, physical illness, relationship and sexual issues, sexuality, stress.
I would be pleased to hear from you and I aim to respond within a few hours of initial contact.

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.

Further information
During the first session we will start by getting to know each other a little bit and talk about what is concerning you. We will look at what it is you wish to focus on and how therapy could help.
You are welcome to ask me any questions you may have and to decide how/whether you would like to proceed.
