About me
Hello and welcome. Many of my clients spend their time trying to make people happy or keep the peace, have an unsupportive family or are in dysfunctional or controlling relationships. If you feel like you have lost a sense of who you are, or perhaps you have never known, it can help to have someone alongside you with a fresh perspective to help you find clarity.
I'm a BACP-reg humanistic integrative counsellor. That means I draw on more than one approach and tailor the sessions to you. I'm warm and nonjudgemental, and we work in a collaborative way at your own pace. Just come as you are and begin wherever you’d like to. Together we can help you untangle your thoughts and feelings. All topics are welcome, but I have particular experience in self-esteem issues, relationship dynamics and neurodivergence.
In the first session, we'll talk about what brings you to counselling, what are the main difficulties in your life and what your hopes for counselling are. We can then look at your past and present experiences and work on moving through challenges to find a better path. I work in a person-centred way, which means I will listen and attune to you, and help you find your own answers and realisations.
My private practice is located in a quiet room overlooking a peaceful valley, close to the Hillier Garden Centre on the outskirts of Bath. There is free parking and there's no stepping out on to a busy street after sessions, just onto a peaceful leafy lane. I can also offer online and walk and talk sessions by arrangement.
Feel free to get in touch and we'll arrange a free 20 minute initial call.

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.
