About me
Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, or like you’ve lost your way. You may be looking for support in your journey recovering from abuse, or you’re currently struggling with a relationship in your life.
I strongly believe that within the safety of a trusting counselling relationship, we can find clarity and a way to move forward, towards healing and growth. I am here to support you in looking for the answers within, as only you know what’s right for you.
I’m a warm, caring humanistic therapist working online. I am registered with the BACP and work with adults and young people on issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, family issues and abuse.
I also work with clients affected by chronic health conditions, such as ME / chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, migraine and vestibular conditions / persistent dizziness.
I welcome people of all ages (16+) and identities. I am LGBT+ affirmative.
What to expect:
My approach is rooted in person-centred and humanistic counselling. As a therapist, I work with what you bring to the sessions, and you decide what you want to talk about. You are the expert on yourself and your life. I won’t give you advice, but I will bring an empathic, engaged and authentic presence to our interactions.
We will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you and regularly review our work together. I welcome feedback and my aim as a counsellor is to be open and approachable.
I also work relationally: when it feels useful, I work with what happens in the here-and-now of the counselling relationship. This can be a powerful way to further explore the issues that you bring to counselling.
- Online via Zoom or telephone.

Please feel free to ask me for more details of how I work. You can call me or send an email here.

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.
