About me
We all possess strengths and resilience, and a desire to live fulfilling lives that reflect our unique dreams and values. However we can also reach those moments in life (and perhaps these moments have become a more permanent experience) when we experience challenges, feel overwhelmed, alone or seem to repeat self-defeating patterns of behaviour. Sometimes the methods we adopt to fix things become counterproductive.
If you are reading this, chances are you're facing some life hurdles. Whilst the nature of these will be as unique as we are, please be encouraged that we all possess the capacity to overcome and arrive at our hoped for destination.
I offer a calm, compassionate and non-judgemental space for you to explore where you're at and where you'd like to go. Whilst theoretical approaches in counselling are multiple and can be tailored to suit each individual, I believe the most fundamental aspect is for you to feel seen, understood and gain a renewed sense of hope for the future.
Starting the counselling process can feel daunting and I'd like to commend your courage for taking the first step. It's a privilege for me to hear and share in your story, so if today feels like the day I'd be delighted to hear from you.

Masters Degree in Counselling, MBACP
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.
