About me
Anxiety and depression can feel overwhelming, affecting your thoughts, emotions, and even your ability to enjoy daily life. Whether you’re experiencing racing thoughts, tension, or a lingering sense of unease, you don’t have to navigate it alone. As a BACP Accredited Counsellor, I specialise in working with anxiety and depression, helping people understand their struggles, explore the root causes, and develop strategies to manage them. But more than that, I want to get to know the real you—the person behind the anxiety. I believe therapy isn’t just about symptoms; it’s about understanding your experiences, your strengths, and what truly matters to you.
I take an integrative approach to counselling, meaning I tailor our work to suit you as an individual. I also enjoy working creatively, exploring different ways to help you express yourself and make sense of your emotions—whether through talking, imagery, metaphors, or other techniques that resonate with you.
Therapy isn’t formal or intimidating; it’s simply a conversation between two people. My aim is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. Together, we’ll find a way forward that helps you feel more in control, more resilient, and more at peace.
Finding a therapist can feel like a big step, but I’d love to have an informal chat about what you’re looking for and how I might be able to help.
You might find integrative therapy beneficial in the following ways:
- you can begin to understand more clearly what causes you to feel challenged in life,
- you can learn to recognise what triggers you into unhelpful behaviours and be supported in trying new, more productive ones,
- you can begin to recognise limitations you’ve set on yourself and find ways to move beyond them,
- you can integrate all the different aspects of yourself (mind, body, emotions, social skills)
- you can set goals that lead you toward the life you feel happy about,
- you can begin to face your life in a more open, and authentic way.
Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task, the relationship between two people is paramount. I would encourage you to contact me and we can have an initial chat so that you can decide whether I am the right therapist for you.

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.
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.
