About me
I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, bereavement, or relationship and work challenges. I provide a safe, supportive space to help you gain perspective, build confidence, and make meaningful changes in your life.
To explore how we could work together, please email to arrange an initial chat.
I am a qualified and experienced counsellor, registered with the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). This means I meet professional standards for training, supervision, continuing development, and ethical practice.
I work with adults from my practice in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, as well as online. In our sessions, you can expect empathy, respect, and a space to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement. Together, we work to deepen your self-understanding, identify patterns, and discover new ways forward.
I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change when given the right support. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you find strength and clarity in times of difficulty.
Some examples of what I do include:
- Support people through suffering and loss to manage their grieving and start to build independence.
- Help those who are anxious about managing day-to-day situations to develop coping strategies, recognising and using their underlying strengths and resilience.
- Work with people struggling with relationship issues (personal and work-related) to understand and move on from unhealthy repetitive patterns of interactions.
- Support clients who fear criticism and rejection to build self-esteem and for those reliant on approval from others to trust their own judgement.
- Help people shift from isolation and withdrawal to a life that encompasses interaction and relationships.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the Metanoia Institute, London in Integrative Psychodynamic Counselling, and gained clinical experience with Cruse Bereavement Support, Mind (Mental Health Charity), and The Koan Practice in London.
I work with adult clients from diverse backgrounds, offering both short- and long-term therapy. Alongside my therapeutic work, I have a professional background in project and change management in financial services, which has strengthened my problem-solving, resilience, and ability to support others in stressful situations.
I also have a strong track record in helping people develop career and life skills, using both mentoring and coaching techniques.

As a registered BACP member, I undertake regular CPD to keep my skills and knowledge current.
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
I see clients in my home in Gerrards Cross which is conveniently located just off the A40 (with easy parking) and a 10-minute walk from the village and mainline station.
I can also offer online sessions as required.
Mindful of the significant investment (emotion, time, and money) clients make to attend therapy, I regularly seek client feedback and review how the work is progressing.
