About me
I am a qualified Psychotherapist offering a confidential, supportive space for you to explore what you're experiencing. I provide one-to-one counselling and work with a range of emotional difficulties, with particular experience supporting those affected by grief, bereavement, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.
My aim is to offer a calm, non-judgemental environment where you can talk openly and at your own pace. Counselling with me is about creating space to understand what you are going through, rather than trying to fix or rush your experience.
Who I work with
I work with adults and young people who may be struggling with the impact of loss, anxiety, or change, including those who find it difficult to name or make sense of their feelings.
Areas I support
I work with a range of experiences, including:
- Grief and bereavement (recent, longer-term, or unresolved)
- Anticipatory grief related to illness, dementia, or expected loss
- Anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion
- Trauma-informed support following difficult experiences
- Difficulty understanding, accessing, or expressing emotions
- The emotional impact of loss, change, and life transitions
Grief can take many forms. You might be grieving the death of someone important, living with anticipatory grief, or carrying the impact of a loss from much earlier in your life. Sometimes grief does not show up as sadness at all, but as anxiety, numbness, irritability, or a sense of feeling disconnected from yourself or others.
You may be managing day-to-day life while feeling that something isn’t quite right, or wondering whether what you are experiencing is “grief enough” to seek support. Counselling can offer a space to slow down, explore what you’re holding, and begin to make sense of your experience at your own pace.
What therapy with me looks like
I work in a collaborative way, offering a safe and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, and no expectation to talk about anything before you feel ready.
Therapy with me isn’t about being fixed or being told what to do. I aim to create an environment where you can begin to reconnect with yourself, make sense of your experience, and find your own way forward.
Sessions move at your pace, with room for uncertainty and mixed emotions. My aim is to support you in developing understanding, self-compassion, and a steadier relationship with what you are experiencing. Over time, counselling can help you feel more able to understand your emotional responses and navigate daily life with greater steadiness.
Training, qualifications & experience
Professional background
I am a qualified Psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work in line with the BACP Ethical Framework, with a strong emphasis on confidentiality, safety, and professional integrity.
Experience
I have experience working with both adults and young people who are navigating grief, bereavement, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. I also support clients who are finding it difficult to name or understand their feelings following loss, change, or challenging life experiences.
I engage in regular supervision and ongoing professional development to ensure my practice remains reflective, ethical, and responsive to clients’ needs.
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.

Further information
How counselling can help
Counselling can offer a supportive space to pause, reflect, and make sense of what you are experiencing. This may be particularly helpful if you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or affected by grief or loss.
Working together can help you develop a clearer understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and responses, and to feel less alone with them. Over time, counselling may support you in navigating day-to-day life with greater steadiness, self-compassion, and confidence in your own coping.
What to expect in your first session
It is very common to feel unsure about what will happen in a first counselling session, or to worry about whether you will know what to say. There is no need to prepare anything in advance.
The first session is an opportunity for us to begin getting to know one another and to talk about what has brought you to counselling, at a pace that feels comfortable for you. There is no expectation to share more than you feel ready to, and we can focus on whatever feels most important for you in that moment.
