About me
My friends describe me as a compassionate, supportive person with a good sense of humour. I am down-to-earth and love nature, reading, and exploring new information online.
I’m a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist (PgDip), registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). I offer a safe, welcoming space where you can talk openly about what feels difficult right now.
I work collaboratively and respectfully, tailoring therapy to your pace and individual needs. My integrative approach may include trauma-informed work and EMDR, where appropriate, supporting difficulties such as anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem, and relationship issues.
If you’d like to explore how past experiences or relationships may be influencing patterns in your life today, I can support you to do this in a way that feels safe and respectful.
Initial consultation and ongoing work
I offer a complimentary 30-minute initial consultation. This allows us to explore what has brought you to counselling, discuss how I work, and see whether working together feels right for you.
Ongoing counselling can be open-ended or time-limited, depending on your needs. We review the work regularly to ensure it remains helpful and supportive.
I am registered with Bupa and accept Bupa-funded clients.
The way I work and my experience
My approach is integrative, drawing on different therapeutic models depending on what best supports you. This may include CBT, solution-focused therapy, psychodynamic and relational work, inner child work, transactional analysis, and EMDR.
I believe that feeling safe, heard and understood is central to meaningful therapeutic work. I work flexibly, shaping sessions around you rather than following a fixed agenda. I have experience supporting autistic clients and adapt my approach to suit individual needs.
I can help with:
I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including:
• Trauma and distressing experiences
• Anxiety and stress
• Low self-esteem
• Emotional overwhelm
• Relationship difficulties
• Depression
• Family Issues
• Loss and life transitions
• ACA - Adult Children of Alcoholics & Dysfunctional Families.
If you are unsure whether counselling is right for you, you are welcome to get in touch to discuss this.
Professional standards

I hold an enhanced DBS certificate.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
