About me
Is your life overwhelming and challenging at times?
Do you suffer from anxiety/depression/Stress?
Do you suffer from neurodiversity?/Adhd/Autism?
Do you have relationship problems?
Living with anxiety, low mood, stress or being neurodivergent can feel exhausting and isolating. Life can become a challenge when emotions feel overwhelming or communication feels difficult. It can make you feel alone and disconnected.
I can offer a safe and understanding therapeutic space for individuals and couples, to slow things down, and explore what is happening beneath the surface, to find kinder ways to relate to yourself and others.
I can help you find a place within yourself which is untouched by the chaos. Within our therapeutic relationship, we explore together how life is for you.
I will help you develop yourself, raise your confidence, self-esteem and wellbeing. You can become the master of your own ship.
I will support you to find your way.
I offer a free informal 15 minute consultation for you to ask any questions, and discuss what has brought you to seek support.

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.
