About me
Hello,
I'd like to welcome you to a warm, confidential, safe space where you will be truly listened to, and have someone alongside you, to help you find your way through whatever is troubling you.
Would it help to know something about me?
I've completed a five year Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling, following an Open University degree in Human Biology and Psychology, and have been working as a therapist since 2010.
My background is in healthcare and, alongside my private practice as a psychotherapist, I'm continuing to work within the NHS. This is as a Butterfly volunteer at our local hospital, supporting patients, their families and friends.
The world seems to have embraced online and telephone sessions since lockdown. Both have their individual qualities and advantages and I have adapted how I work to fully support clients when online or telephone sessions are preferred. Both are effective, however there can also be something valuable in meeting in person and, if you're able to, I would be pleased to get together with you in my home county of Norfolk, NR7.
Most importantly, however, I would like you to feel comfortable with me. To help this, I would suggest we get together over the phone for a confidential conversation. This would be free of charge, and an opportunity for you to see how you feel, and bring any questions you may have.

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.
