About Terry

I offer a range of professional, friendly and
non-judgemental psychological counselling services.

With a strong background of managing mental health services for over 25 years I have extensive experience of a wide range of issues. I run my own private practice and worked as a Service Manager within IAPT NHS counselling services and as a counsellor within local charities.

I’m registered and accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), an Accredited EMDR Practitioner and a member of the EMDR Association UK. Fully insured and DBS certificated.

My private practice takes self-referrals from clients plus referrals from GP’s, Private Health Care, Employer Assistance Programmes and Occupational Health Services.

I offer a safe space to share whatever is on your mind knowing you will be met with warmth and acceptance. Talking to someone may seem difficult but by contacting the service you are taking the first step.
