About me
*Limited Availability*
If you are looking to rediscover your true worth and build lasting self-esteem, I specialise in helping individuals overcome self-doubt, low confidence, and feelings of being unseen.
Whether in-person at The Counselling Studio or online via Zoom, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental environment tailored to your needs.
As we build trust, you will begin to feel comfortable expressing yourself authentically, knowing you are supported through any pain or discomfort. This process helps you gain clarity, build self-awareness, and make positive changes in your life.
If you’re struggling with self-criticism, anxiety, depression, or past trauma, we will work together to uncover the root causes and break free from limiting beliefs. Through our work, you will gain a stronger sense of self-worth, learn to recognise your strengths, and develop healthier relationships with yourself and others.
Low self-esteem can also impact many areas of life, from family dynamics to mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, and addictions. By addressing the underlying emotional difficulties, we can work toward healing and building a more confident, resilient you.
Ultimately, my goal is to help you rediscover your value and create a life filled with self-compassion, confidence, and inner strength. Together, we will help you overcome barriers and empower you to live authentically and fully.

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.
