About me
I am a fully qualified counsellor who believes that being seen, heard and understood can help us make sense of ourselves and the world we are navigating. I hold a space that’s open for you that’s safe for you to explore what truly matters, facilitating your growth without judgement or expectations. I believe that living by our intentions can help us make choices about what we want and how we want to live. Empowering yourself is a gift for you to reach towards your true authentic self.
Validating your unique experience is important because all our journeys are different. Our struggles can take many forms and can feel like such a heavy burden to carry, you may be feeling overwhelmed with anxiety surrounding your relationship or job or family. Perhaps you have noticed that your mood is lower and it’s becoming more difficult to feel positive. Working together we can look at ways that may help you find meaning and a new perspective.
I offer a clear, honest and warm approach so I can help you see a way forward, any emotions that you are experiencing will be held gently and with acceptance.
Training, qualifications & experience

Alongside private practice, I work in Salisbury as a counsellor supporting adults who have been referred by GPs within the Wiltshire area. I have spent time volunteering and working for a charity in Southampton supporting vulnerable adults.
I attend regular training for personal growth and to further my knowledge, this allows me to continually broaden my awareness in understanding what people need.
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.

Additional information
I offer concessions for students and low income families. This can be discussed within the initial free assessment which can be conducted by phone or online. This time can be used for you to explore what you need and hope to get from your sessions and allows you the time to make an informed choice about how I work and whether this fits your needs.
After this, each session lasts for 50 minutes.
The frequency of sessions is entirely client led as I believe that this is an individual's choice depending on their circumstances.
Payments can be made by bank transfer or cash.
Cancellation fees will apply if prior notice is not given.
