About me
Reaching out for support isn’t always easy, and that’s completely okay. What matters most is finding someone you feel at ease with; someone who offers a space where you will feel safe, understood, and free to talk at your own pace.
I wok with individuals 18+ and couples. My approach is rooted in compassion, kindness, and authenticity. I provide a calm and supportive environment where you can explore whatever is going on in your life and feel truly heard. My role is to support you with understanding and to help you move forward at a pace that works for you.
Counselling provides a personal space for you to grow, heal, and reconnect with yourself. It can help you make sense of challenging experiences, deepen your self-awareness, and find a way forward that feels true to you. Importantly, it is an opportunity for you to talk openly and honestly with someone outside your daily life; someone who listens without judgment and supports you every step of the way.
Confidentiality:
To help you feel comfortable and able to share openly, I maintain confidentiality in keeping with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions www.bacp.co.uk. As an accredited registered member of the BACP, I am committed to upholding these ethical standards in all aspects of my practice.
Online Counselling:
My office is in Ulverston for in person appointments. I am also trained and qualified to work online by video (using a secure, encrypted platform), telephone, instant messaging, or email. Online appointments allow you to connect from the familiarity of your own home, making counselling more accessible, especially if you live in a remote area or find it hard to travel. Importantly, this approach still maintains the warm, human connection that lies at the heart of therapy.
If you have any questions or would like to book an appointment, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Whatever you are going through, you do not need to face it all on your own.

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.
