About me
Hello, I’m a person-centred counsellor offering a compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can explore what’s going on in your life at your own pace. I believe that each person has the capacity for growth and self-understanding when given the right support. My role is to walk alongside you as you make sense of your experiences, helping you reconnect with your inner resources and move towards a more fulfilling and authentic life.
I welcome clients from all backgrounds and am particularly passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ individuals. Whether you're exploring identity, navigating relationships, or dealing with the impact of discrimination or isolation, I offer a safe, affirming space to be fully yourself.
Whether you're facing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling stuck, I will listen with empathy and respect, honouring your unique story. I work collaboratively and transparently, always guided by your needs and goals.
I offer in-person, online and telephone sessions. If you’d like to find out more or see if we’re a good fit, feel free to get in touch for an initial conversation.
Training, qualifications & experience
My therapy experience has been with the charity sector volunteering for both a Christian agency and an addiction service, I am currently working in private practice. I have experience with a diverse range of life matters including addiction, trauma, childhood diversity and abuse, adult abuse and relationship difficulties, neurodiversity and working with LGBTQIA+ folk.
I am currently enrolled on a post graduate diploma course where I am expanding my knowledge working with LBGTQIA+ folk. Becoming a Pink therapist is an exciting opportunity to offer more understanding within the community.
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.
