About me

I’m a person‑centred integrative counsellor with over five years of experience working with adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. People often come to me feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or low mood, struggling with relationships, self‑esteem, or navigating challenging life changes. Whatever brings you to therapy, we will focus on what matters most to you.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to you as an individual. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches while keeping the relationship at the heart of our work, allowing therapy to unfold at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Together, we can explore your experiences, develop deeper self‑understanding, and work towards meaningful and lasting change.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out - just a sense that you’d like support and a space to begin.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
