I am a fully qualified therapist with a Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice, aiming to deliver an integrative approach to my services.
I am the type of therapist who blends different therapeutic approaches and techniques to suit the individual needs of my clients. The goal of integrative therapy is to create a more holistic and personalised experience, drawing on various schools of thought to address a wide range of issues. An integrative counsellor combines strategies from different therapeutic modalities to tailor the therapy to the person in front of them.
My Experience:
I believe that the relationship we have with ourselves is at the heart of our wellbeing. Sometimes life experiences can leave us feeling disconnected from who we are, making it difficult to trust ourselves or feel safe in our own thoughts and emotions. I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can slow down, be heard without judgement, and gently reconnect with yourself. Together, we can build a stronger sense of self-trust, safety, and confidence, helping you feel more grounded and connected to the person you are.
As a therapist on an addiction team It is my pleasure and responsibility to manage a case load, provide 1:1 therapy, group therapy and deliver Psychoeducational sessions. Stabilization is the priority. We spend time building trust, and empowering our clients to make positive, sustainable changes in their lives. A rehab facility give us therapist the opportunity to get to know people in a different way – we spend time with them, walk with them through their journey. It is a wonder to see people make life changing progression in a short period of time.
Volunteering for MIND has been an incredibly fulfilling and meaningful experience for me, both personally and professionally. As a mental health professional, I was privileged to be part of an organisation that not only provides vital support to those struggling with mental health challenges, but also works tirelessly to reduce stigma and promote understanding in society.
St. Luke's continues to contribute to my ever-growing skills and passion. Being a grief counsellor is an incredibly rewarding and fulfilling role. Grief is a deeply personal and often painful experience, and as a grief counsellor, I have the opportunity to support people through one of the most challenging periods of their lives.
I recently developed and delivered an 8-week programme with Open Road, a drug and alcohol recovery service. The programme focused on emotional regulation and coping mechanisms, offering participants practical tools to manage triggers, build resilience, and improve their overall wellbeing. Each session was designed to be interactive and inclusive, creating a safe space for open discussion and peer support. Feedback from participants highlighted increased self-awareness and a greater sense of empowerment in their recovery journeys.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.

Further information
I am offering a free consaltation call prior to our first appointment.
The Initial Consultation in counselling is a crucial first step in the therapeutic process, as it sets the foundation for the entire counselling relationship. It provides both of us with the opportunity to get to know one another, clarify expectations, and assess whether I am a good fit for your needs.
