About me
I am a counselling psychotherapist based in Norfolk, and I work with adults, young people and children from the age of 11. I have an enhanced DBS check (Disclosure and Barring Service), renewed in accordance with safeguarding legislation.
People seek me out for all sorts of reasons, the most common, but often very confusing, is a feeling of unease about something within themselves. It can get difficult when you don't really know why you feel that way, or even what it really means for you, you just know that something doesn't feel right. That's where I can help, counselling is about feeling safe and secure enough to express your feelings in a variety of different ways, such as art, play, or talking. Talking with someone who can help you unpick your issue, at your own pace, helping you to understand yourself, in partnership with a counsellor who can give you the conditions to allow you to help yourself.
I am passionate about working with people, empowering them to be the best version of themselves.
I am particularly interested in working with people who are Neurodiverse. I have ADHD myself, and am a parent to two children with ADHD, and ASD. This insight shows me first-hand, of how misunderstood Neurodiversity really is, especially in an educational setting. My extensive experience of working with young people has taught me, that in a world that is dominated by social media, it can feel even harder for people to figure out who they are and what their place is in the world.
Prior to becoming a Counselling Psychotherapist, I spent 10 years working with young people and families in a variety of different support and advocate roles, such as, Police School Liaison Officer, Youth Offending Mentor and Pastoral Support Worker in a college. Once qualified, I worked as a college Counselling Psychotherapist for 8 years.

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.
