About me and my practice

I am a BACP registered Counsellor, which means I have met their criteria for qualified and experienced therapists and work in accordance with the BACP ethical framework.

As a qualified counsellor, I will strive to help you with your difficulties. Since I am someone independent of your everyday life, I will not offer you advice. Instead, I will listen fully as you talk about your feelings and help you explore your feelings so you may better understand them and come up with your own solutions to your difficulties.

I take a person-centred approach where I aim to build a solid therapeutic relationship with you in which you feel heard, valued, and accepted. I do this by being open, understanding, and not passing judgement in a safe place for you.

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Feelings of low mood, Feelings of stress or anxiety, Panic attacks, Relationship problems, Grief, loss or bereavement, Depression, Problems with confidence or self-esteem, Problems with family, Issues related to sexuality, Difficulties at work or in retirement, Transitions in life.

I have worked with adults from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and identities, and I have a track record of building positive relationships with my clients.

I create a safe and supportive space for my clients to explore their emotions and find solutions. I listen empathically and respectfully, without judging or imposing my views.

I help my clients discover their strengths and resources and develop new skills and strategies to cope with their difficulties.

I use online platforms and tools that are secure and confidential and that suit the clients preferences and availability. I also follow the ethical standards and codes of practice of the BACP such as confidentiality, informed consent, supervision, and professional development.
