About me
I listen deeply and take the time to understand your unique experiences and ways of being in the world. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, accepted, and relaxed. Humour, sadness, vulnerability, and all the other human emotions are welcome parts of our work together. We’ll explore what brought you to counselling, while also remaining open to new or unexpected topics that may arise. You are welcome to bring anything that feels important to you. Our sessions are a flexible space where your changing needs and interests are always valued.
I work collaboratively and compassionately, with a neurodiversity-affirming approach. This means welcoming movement, sitting with a pillow or two, or even on the floor, using fidget toys, or asking questions at any time. Sessions are relaxed and low-demand, and I am happy to adjust things like lighting to suit your sensory needs. If we are meeting online, I encourage you to set up your space however works best for you. Whether you want to move around, get comfortable with blankets or pets, or take breaks as needed, you are welcome to shape your environment to feel supportive.
I am an integrative counsellor, drawing on person-centred, reflective practice, mindfulness, and practical coaching strategies when they fit your needs. I often take a strength-based approach, recognising and building on your unique abilities and resources. This might include identifying what’s already working well, exploring ways to enhance these strengths, or introducing practical strategies and tools such as clarifying your core values, practising gratitude, or developing routines that support your well-being.
We can reflect together on what feels effective, adapt strategies as needed, and celebrate progress. I aim to tailor our work to your individual needs, preferences, and goals, always with an emphasis on acceptance and empowerment. The process is collaborative, and your feedback and choices shape the direction we take.
In a typical session, we might discuss your thoughts, feelings, relationships, and current challenges. We can look for patterns, develop practical strategies, or simply give you space to process what’s happening in your life. We can set meaningful goals and work towards them together at a pace that feels right for you.
There’s also room for a more open approach, where each session is a chance to talk about whatever surfaces that week. You don’t need to have all the answers or a plan; we’ll figure things out together each time we meet.
Not sure whether to choose online or in-person counselling? It's a question I'm often asked.
Having experienced therapy myself in both ways, I can honestly say that, for me, the depth of the work hasn't depended on whether I was sitting in the same room as my therapist or meeting online. The connection, trust and therapeutic relationship were just as important in both settings.
The reasons I've chosen one over the other have usually been practical. Sometimes it's been about convenience, fitting therapy around everyday life, or wanting to work with someone who wasn't local. At other times, I've enjoyed the experience of travelling to a dedicated therapy space and stepping away from home for an hour.
My advice is simple: listen to yourself. Think about what feels most supportive for you right now. If you're local and would enjoy having a calm, welcoming space away from the distractions of home, in-person sessions may feel like the right choice. If being at home feels easier, more comfortable, or simply fits better with your life, online counselling can be just as meaningful and effective.
Whichever you choose, my aim is always the same, to create a warm, accepting space where you feel able to be yourself.

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.
