About me
Welcome to my one-to-one and couples counselling and supervision practice.
With over two decades of experience as an integrative counsellor—and twelve years dedicated to couples counselling—I’ve learned that healing isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. Together, we’ll create a safe space where you can explore your vulnerabilities, moving towards the pain, and not only survive it but truly become more alive.
I'm here to help you navigate the twists and turns of your life. Whether you're recovering from trauma, grappling with depression or anxiety, or simply feeling adrift, reaching out is a courageous first step. I believe that even in our darkest moments, there is a space for profound self-discovery and growth.
My approach is rooted in warmth, empathy, and genuine connection. The therapeutic relationship is essential; it allows you to delve into parts of yourself that you might have once hesitated to explore. I blend empathy with straightforward language, a touch of wit, and story-telling, ensuring that our connection is meaningful.
Whether we meet face-to-face or connect online, my commitment remains the same: to walk alongside you as you uncover insights, embrace your strengths and vulnerabilities, and celebrate every step of your journey.
I invite you to get in touch. Let’s explore your story together—with all its twists, turns, and the occasional well-timed smile.
I look forward to working with you.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
