About me

As well as working privately I have, for the past few years, been working for two counselling agencies which offer free or low-cost counselling to the local communities they serve. I am committed to helping all of my clients feel heard, understood and supported with whatever issue is troubling them.

Being a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) means that I work in accordance with their ethical framework. It underpins all of my work and a copy of this framework can be found here. I am also a member of the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) which is a professional body promoting data protection and ensuring that GDPR rules are adhered to.

I also hold an up-to-date and enhanced DBS certificate.
