About me
Hi, I’m an experienced integrative therapist and a registered member of the BACP, based in Dereham, Norfolk. I work in a down-to-earth, straight talking way — no fluffy phrases, just real conversations in a relaxed and supportive setting.
You might be here for a range of reasons — perhaps you’re feeling low or anxious, finding it hard to communicate with someone close to you, processing a bereavement, or simply needing a bit of extra support right now. Whatever’s brought you to this point, I’m here to offer a safe, non-judgemental space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported at your own pace.
With over 20 years’ experience, I work with individuals, couples and families. My approach is always tailored to you — this is your space, and we’ll work together in a way that feels right for you. I’m particularly experienced in supporting people through grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and family relationship challenges.
One of my specialist areas is supporting those affected by the death of a baby or child — a deeply personal and sensitive area of my work for the past two decades. I’m also passionate about working with young people who may be feeling overwhelmed or confused by their emotions.
If you’d like to find out more, feel free to get in touch by phone, text or email for an informal chat — and ask as many questions as you need to help you feel at ease.

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.
