About me
Offering Online sessions via Zoom, email and phone counselling.
I know that starting counselling can feel daunting. Many people contact me when they're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, struggling with difficult emotions, or simply finding it hard to make sense of what's happening in their lives.
My aim is to provide a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and be yourself. I believe that being genuinely listened to and understood can make a real difference, and I work alongside clients with curiosity, compassion, and respect.
For over 20 years, I have worked in caring professions, supporting people through a wide range of challenges and life experiences. These experiences have shaped my belief that there is no single "right" way to approach therapy. As an integrative counsellor, I adapt my approach to suit the individual rather than expecting them to fit a particular model.
I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, addiction, and major life transitions. I also have a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent clients, particularly around the challenges of navigating a world that doesn't always understand or accommodate difference, as well as those navigating perimenopause and menopause.
Whether you come to counselling with a clear goal or simply a sense that something isn't quite right, we can work together to understand what is happening and explore a way forward at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

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.
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.
