About me
I’m a qualified person-centred counsellor and registered member of the BACP (MBACP), offering a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever is bringing you to counselling.
My approach is collaborative and led by your current needs. I believe that feeling genuinely heard, understood and accepted can create the space for greater self-understanding, choice and empowerment. Alongside talking therapy, I can draw on mindfulness, creative approaches, sand-tray work and gentle somatic techniques where these feel helpful to you.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, overwhelm, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, loss and bereavement, and periods of change or transition.
I offer face-to-face counselling in Ruislip, online counselling across the UK, and walk-and-talk counselling locally.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified person-centred counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), with honours degree-level training in counselling.
I have worked in mental health and wellbeing since 2015 and have gained counselling experience across three counselling services, including West London Mind, working with adults with a wide range of experiences and reasons for seeking therapy.
I am currently undertaking postgraduate trauma training with Babette Rothschild, further developing my knowledge of trauma-informed practice, nervous-system regulation and somatic approaches to stabilisation.
I also have training and experience in mindfulness and meditation, creative therapeutic approaches and therapeutic sand-tray work, which I can integrate into counselling where appropriate and helpful.
I undertake regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development in accordance with BACP ethical and professional standards.
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.

Further information
I understand that finding the right counsellor is an important part of the process. I offer a free 20-minute introductory call, giving you an opportunity to ask questions, tell me a little about what brings you to counselling and get a sense of whether I might be the right therapist for you.
I offer counselling in person in Ruislip, online across the UK, and walk-and-talk sessions locally. Sessions are available during weekday daytime hours.
There is no expectation to arrive knowing exactly what you want to work on. We can begin with whatever feels most important to you and take things at your own pace.
