About me
Sometimes life feels overwhelming. The smallest thing can be the straw to break the camel's back and leave us feeling lost, anxious, empty, or unsure of who we are or where we're going. You might find yourself asking, “How did I end up here?” or maybe you have an inkling why and thought you could manage it. These thoughts can challenge us — but they can also be the beginning of real change.
I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor, and my role is to walk alongside you, at your pace, seeing your world as you see it. I aim to create a space where you feel accepted, valued, and truly understood—with care and compassion. I adapt my approach to meet your individual needs and when words are hard to find, I offer creative tools to help you express what’s going on inside.
In my couples work, I focus on helping you deepen self-awareness and improve communication. Whether you're hoping to reconnect, find clarity about the future of your relationship, or navigate a respectful ending, our work together is guided by where you are and what you need.
Counselling offers a safe, supportive space to explore your inner world and gain a clearer understanding of yourself and your patterns. We’ll go at your pace, gently uncovering what’s beneath the surface—those unconscious beliefs and behaviours that may no longer serve you. I’m especially interested in how the mind tries to protect us, even when it leads us in difficult directions. When helpful, I incorporate psychoeducation into our work, as understanding can be the first step toward compassion—for yourself and for others.
I work with both individuals and couples, offering a space for exploration, healing, and growth—wherever you are on your journey.
To help us begin, I offer a free 20-minute consultation via Zoom or Teams. This gives us a chance and see if we are right for each other: the relationship with your therapist is key. Sessions are available online or in person, for both short and long-term support. Thank you.
Training, qualifications & experience
Alongside my private practice I work with a charity supporting clients whose lives have been affected directly or indirectly by sexual abuse. My role is to support clients as they process and come to terms with a myriad of intense emotions.
Over two years experience of working for a charity counselling clients who have addiction/dependency issues around alcohol and drugs.
Before retraining I was a project manager in a challenging environment and so have experience of managing conflict in meetings. This skill is proving effective in my work with couples.
I am currently completing a Level 5 in couples counselling incorporating elements of the Imago relationship method.
Below are my qualifications

CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
CPCAB Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies

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.
