About me
My aim is to offer a space that feels safe, relaxed, and completely real. This is a place where you can talk about whatever is on your mind, no matter how big or small it feels. You don’t have to hide any part of yourself here. You can cry, laugh, swear, sit in silence, or just try to make sense of things. However you show up, it is okay.
Because I work in a person-centred way, I trust that you know yourself best. I am not here to direct you; I am here to listen and help you explore things at your own pace. Together, we can look at what’s working, what’s feeling stuck, and what might help you move forward.
Therapy can be a varied journey. Sometimes it brings up tough emotions, and sometimes it brings laughter or relief. No matter how it looks for you, I will always meet you with warmth, honesty, and deep respect.
Practice Values & Accessibility
- Inclusive & Affirming: My practice is proudly LGBTQ+ affirming. Whoever you are, you are entirely welcome here.

Please note: I do occasionally wear cardigans
Training, qualifications & experience
The boring bit: I am a person centred and integrative therapist with a Foundation degree in Counselling from the University of Wales Trinity St. David's.
Why you should choose me:
My varied background has given me a wealth of life experience that I bring directly into my counselling practice. Before realizing my long-held dream of qualifying as a counsellor, I worked in accounts, managed a coffee shop, raised a family, worked as a home carer, and volunteered with the ambulance service. These diverse roles, alongside my own lived experiences with baby loss, OCD, PTSD, depression, Bipolar Disorder, chronic illness, divorce, gender dysphoria, and family bereavement, have deeply shaped my understanding of the challenges life can bring. They have fundamentally enhanced my ability to offer deep empathy, unwavering support, and a truly non-judgmental space.
I am passionate about walking alongside you on your journey—whether that means supporting you to reach your full potential, helping you heal after trauma, or simply being there to listen. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I also understand firsthand how complex, intersecting, and overwhelming life can sometimes feel.

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.
