About me
I offer a free introductory call to find out if I'm the right counsellor for you. Trauma-informed counsellor — supporting adults recovering from past trauma, anxiety & depression
Struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, or the lasting effects of trauma? I offer a calm, confidential space to help you pause, make sense of what's happening, and find steadier ground.
I'm a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor (MBACP), person-centred and trauma-informed. Therapy with me is collaborative and curious — not about fixing or judging you, but about exploring what feels difficult together, at your pace.
I work with adults facing:
- Anxiety and depression
- Relationship difficulties
- Ruminating or intrusive thoughts
- Grief and loss
- Past trauma
- Neurodivergence and identity
- Career and life transitions, confidence and self-worth
Alongside my private practice, I work with STARS Dorset, supporting adults recovering from childhood abuse and trauma. This work has deepened my commitment to trust, safety, and autonomy as the foundation of therapy.
Before training as a counsellor, I worked in media, NGOs, and education, and lived abroad for over a decade — experiences that shaped my understanding of belonging, identity, and change.
I offer sessions online and in person in Lower Parkstone, Poole. Get in touch for a free 15-minute call to see if we're a good fit — no pressure, just a chance to find out more.

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.
