About me
I’m a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor offering a warm, supportive, and affirming space to explore whatever is going on in your life. I work with adults from all walks of life, with a particular focus on supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, people navigating identity, and those looking to better understand themselves.
You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. You might be questioning aspects of your identity or simply wanting a space where you can be fully yourself without judgement. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and the belief that each person has the capacity for growth and healing.
With extensive insight into the demands of high-level corporate roles and multi-million-dollar businesses, I understand the unique pressures you may be carrying. I listen carefully to your concerns around mental wellbeing, whether you are noticing early warning signs or recovering from burnout.
Training, qualifications & experience
As a therapist who is LGBTQ+ trained and affirming, I offer an inclusive, non-pathologizing space where your identity will be respected and understood. I am experienced in supporting clients exploring gender, sexuality, and the complexities of living authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy.
My practice is person-centred, meaning you lead the way. I won’t diagnose or direct you – instead, I’ll offer a calm, grounded presence and a therapeutic relationship built on trust and acceptance. Together, we can explore the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that may be holding you back.
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.
