About me
I offer person-centred counselling in a warm, welcoming, and compassionate environment, where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels right for you. Creating a space built on empathy, understanding, and respect is central to my approach, allowing a strong, trusting, and safe therapeutic relationship to develop.
You may be seeking support to make sense of difficult experiences or trauma, to deepen your self-awareness, or to improve your emotional wellbeing. You might also wish to explore aspects of your identity. Whatever brings you, we will work together to navigate any challenges and help you move forward with greater confidence.
Sessions take place in a quiet, confidential setting in Lancaster. I offer face-to-face appointments, as well as telephone and secure online sessions, so you can choose the format that feels most comfortable for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I work with a range of concerns, including identity, emotional difficulties, self-esteem, and neurodiversity. I have experience supporting the queer community through my previous work with a local LGBTQIA+ charity, as well as working within a residential therapeutic community for individuals recovering from addiction.
With a background in teaching, I have experience providing counselling services to children and young people. Alongside this, I offer private counselling sessions for people of all ages in Lancaster.
I am a fully registered member of the BACP and adhere to their ethical framework. I offer both short-term and long-term counselling, and I hold a degree in Person-Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy.
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.

Additional information
If you are interested in working with me, please contact me via email and we can book in an initial call to discuss how we might work together. I provide a free 20 minute online meeting or phone call for us to get to know each other, discuss any previous experiences of therapy and address any questions you may have about the process. This gives us time to consider if working together feels right for us both before committing to a first session. Usually we would start with weekly sessions and evaluate what is working on a regular basis to suit your needs.
