About me
Welcome
It can be difficult to navigate life's challenges on your own. Having a trusted and confidential space for you to talk can be the first step towards making positive changes in your life.
My approach
I am a fully qualified therapist and counsellor, working in an integrative-relational way. This means that I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to meet your unique needs.
I offer a supportive therapeutic relationship in which you can find safety and acceptance. Together we can create a reflective and empathetic space where you will be able to explore what troubles you. Here, all of your thoughts, feelings and experiences are welcome.
We might seek to understand the relationship between past and present, your wishes, losses, hopes, and fears. In this way, we can work towards a happier, healthier way of being with yourself and others in the world.
My work is collaborative, ensuring you have a choice regarding the content and pace of our sessions.
In my practice, I work creatively when it may help to find new ways of expressing your experiences. This might include gently bringing the mind and body together through mindfulness. We might use imagery, stones, or a sand tray.
First session
To help you decide whether counselling is the right choice for you and if my approach aligns with your needs, I offer an initial session at a reduced fee of £40.
In this first session, we will discuss your concerns, your goals for counselling, and how we can work together.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions before booking a session.

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Inner Child Work - Inner child work involves connecting with, nurturing, and understanding the younger parts of oneself that may still influence current behaviours, feelings, and relationships. By accepting, and integrating these parts, individuals can gain a more authentic sense of self and live more fully.
