About me
I have been a Psychosynthesis transpersonal psychotherapeutic counsellor for over 30 years and am a registered member of BACP. I offer a unique and specific therapeutic counselling service based upon client led principles with regular reviews ensuring that the needs of the client are met. My work is ultimately about change, transformation, self-compassion and the recovery of innocence.
I get referrals and recommendations from local GP's and health centres, particularly for those patients experiencing social and elevated anxiety, melancholy, stress, depression, experiencing family issues and those who do not wish to take psychotropic medication.
I am integrative and holistic in my brief term and solution focussed approach, using a variety of modalities and techniques, including introducing mindfulness, meditation and vocal and breath work for deep relaxation and management of our mental health cycles.
I am very experienced using and incorporating psychosynthesis, gestalt, guided visualisation and meditations, TA, art therapy and psychodynamic theories.
I do offer on-line sessions as well as face to face. I would always suggest an initial interview and assessment session to begin the process in order to gain background, find out what your specific needs are and for both of us to see whether we feel positive about working together.
Please do visit my website or give me a call, send me a text or e-mail to take that first and courageous step towards wellbeing, good mental health and inner peace.
Training, qualifications & experience

I originally trained for over three years at the Psychosynthesis & Education Trust (PGDip Couns) and since trained in CBT and Process Orientated Psychology (Deep Democracy).
I am a registered member of BACP and have been a CQC registered Service Manager and clinical lead in a variety of residential mental health settings within therapeutic and intentional communities.
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.

Fees
Free initial telephone session
Concessions offered for
Additional information
My standard fees are £75.00 per individual session and £90.00 per couples session, however fees are based upon what you, the client can afford. Money does not have to be an issue or an additional anxiety as long as discussed from the onset.
For those that can afford to pay a higher fee, allows me to have concessionary fees for those who may be currently economically disadvantaged.
Appreciations and in peace.
