About me

A fully qualified and BACP registered Counsellor. I have worked in roles focusing on supporting people in many different ways throughout my career.  Now I am here to hear you. After taking a break to raise my family I decided to return to education as I love to learn. Studying for six years I qualified as a Counsellor.  Based in Kings Hill I am able to offer a safe, non-judgmental space for anyone struggling with life's stresses. I have my own personal experience with bereavement, trauma, depression and anxiety.

Do you have an emotional difficulty that you are finding hard to come to terms with? Are you struggling in your relationship? Or maybe had enough of the relationship you are in? Maybe you're finding it tough to fit in with your family or someone else's family? Or has the family flown and you are left alone?

If you wish to confidentially think about changes you need in your life, I offer the opportunity to work alongside you short term or in depth to explore your needs fully, and support you in your journey.  My role is to offer empathy, understanding, kindness and help you to simply cope with life, or towards changing it. Giving you the space and opportunity to feel heard. That feeling of being on your own can be very lonely, I am here to hear you, you're not alone.

Training, qualifications & experience

After 6 years of dedicated learning, I passed many exams with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. Since qualifying in 2022 I am now a fully registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. This brings with it a duty of care to ensure I work within their Ethical Framework. During my training I volunteered at Mid Kent MIND in Maidstone, I enjoyed it so much that I stayed for an extra year. Now I have my own practice and am enjoying every day with each client I support.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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).
