About me
Life can look fine from the outside, yet inside something feels unsettled. You might find yourself questioning a relationship, replaying conversations, doubting your own judgement or wondering why certain patterns keep repeating. Perhaps you've spent so long looking after other people that you've lost touch with what you need. If that feels familiar, you're not alone.
Im a person centred counsellor offering online and in person sessions from Alderley Edge. I work with:
- Relationship difficulties and self doubt
- Anxiety, stress and burnout.
- Grief, loss and life transitions
- The impact of chronic or life limiting illness.
My role isn't to tell you what to do or offer quick answers, but to provide a space where you can slow down, feel heard and begin to make sense of what's happening for you. Meaningful change often starts when we feel genuinely listened to - without judgement, pressure or the need to be anything but yourself.
Before training as a therapist, I spent many years running my own business, it was very different work, but it taught me a lot about people, responsibility and the pressure of holding everything together while life carries on around you.
If you're considering therapy, you are welcome to get in touch and see whether working together feels right for you.

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.
