About me

Feeling uncertain in your relationship, overwhelmed by arguments, or navigating a major life change? I help individuals, couples, and relationships of all forms gain clarity, communicate effectively, and make intentional, practical decisions.

I help with:

  • Premarital counselling & relationship decisions
  • Communication breakdown, recurring conflict & trust repair
  • Post-wedding adjustments & family dynamics
  • Individual therapy for anxiety, confidence, and life-decisions

My approach draws on transpersonal and person-centred principles. We go beneath the surface patterns to understand what's really driving the tension. Sessions feel like untangling something complicated together, with enough structure to make sure we're actually moving forward. You leave with a clearer sense of what's happening, why, and what to do differently.

I bring NHS clinical experience and ten years in the wedding sector, including work in over 16 countries. This combination gives insight into the pressures couples face around weddings, family expectations, and life transitions, helping clients make intentional, real-world changes.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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.

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.

Key details

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
