About me

I believe that you are the expert of your world and something that I aim to help my clients believe. By putting you and your needs at the centre of our sessions, I aim to encourage self-reflection, self-healing, and self-confidence. Through these core values I believe that anyone is able to comfortably explore their own emotions and feelings. I am there to not only help you in the moment, but also to help provide you with the tools to help yourself now and in the future. This is a journey about growth and self-discovery.

As a counsellor, I find that adopting just one singular approach may not work the best for everybody. Therefore, I integrate different counselling approaches within each counselling session to meet the needs of each individual that I support. All while offering empathy and listening without judgement.

I offer a free 15 minute consultation for us to get to know each other, to see what you would like to get out of counselling and to determine our next steps. If we decide to book further sessions after the initial consultation, we will decide when you would like your sessions to begin. I look forward to hearing from you.

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
