About me

I have over seven years experience of helping people who feel overwhelmed by their feelings and who are struggling with life.  Clients often say that they feel they have lost who they are, particularly following a difficult relationship break up.  I have helped many clients who struggle with relationships whether they be romantic relationships or with family, colleagues or friends.  I have worked extensively with people who are working through the feelings created by a toxic relationship be that with a partner or family member.  As this can have particular effects on self esteem, self belief and trusting your own instincts.  

You may just be struggling to trust yourself which results in struggling to make decisions or just feeling like your life is built on ever shifting quick sand.

If any of this sounds familiar then counselling can really help, I am here to walk beside you as you explore the past to understand the present and build a better future.

I offer a safe, comfortable and confidential space be that face-to-face or online, for you to explore what it is you need and what is causing disruption in your life.  Together we can explore who you want to be, your relationships or the mixture of feelings around all of the above. Ultimately to help you feel more in control or your life.

Whilst much of my experience is with those who have experienced toxic relationships and toxic parenting.  I have also worked with both adults and children with a wide range of issues including anxiety, low self-esteem, work related stress, trauma, relationship difficulties and bereavement. 

Counselling really is the ultimate in self-care, if you had a niggle with your physical health, you wouldn't ignore it, so why not give your mental well-being the same importance and respect.

I am a Registered member of the BACP (British Association Counselling and Psychotherapy) and adhere to their Code of Ethics, I have an enhanced DBS check and am fully insured. I am also a qualified supervisor to other counsellors.

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.

I believe supervision is a collaborative process which offers a safe non-judgemental space to explore everything about your role as a therapist.
