About me
I am a Person Centred/Integrative Counsellor based in Rodney Street, Liverpool. I work with individuals and couples
I have more than 25 years experience working with children, young people and adults with many diverse issues. I work in private practice and in school settings. I have worked extensively with many clients both men and women who are survivers of sexual abuse.
I have worked as a volunteer counsellor with Liverpool Bereavement Service. I have also worked extensively in the NHS counselling clients with various presenting issues such as; low self esteem, low mood, depression, anxiety disorders, phobias and attachment issues.
I offer a warm, genuine, non judgemental, confidential environment where you can feel free to explore your issues and understand your feelings or anxieties. I have a non directive approach which enables you to move forward at your own pace.
People come to counselling for many different reasons I understand fully that for some, beginning counselling can be a daunting prospect, I can assure you that you will not be judged in any way and any issues you wish to discuss will be completely confidential. I believe that each individual has the ability to change how they feel about themselves in order to reach their full potential and live a happier more fulfilled life.
Sometimes clients don't know exactly what's going on for them, but feel that something isn't right. Talking through your feelings and past experiences can help to uncover and resolve any underlying issues, leaving you feeling better and less burdened.

MBACP CYP Registered member
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.
