About me
Thank you for visiting my page. I am qualified Integrative Counsellor who has experience of working with adults and young people within a counselling capacity. I offer a compassionate and non-judgemental space for you to share your worries and fears, which may be stopping you from accessing harmony and growth. The first step is always the most difficult, but made easier by an empathetic ear and a space to express openly and honestly.
As an Integrative Counsellor, supporting growth and healing for adults and young people. I use a range of approaches including Person Centred, CBT, Psychodynamic as well as creative ways of working with my clients. I am guided by the BACP Ethical Framework ensuring the support I offer you is of an acceptable standard; grounded in empathy and compassion from the get go.
I have helped individuals who are dealing with:
- Challenges/conflicts in relationships
- Feelings of depression or low mood
- Anxiety and worry
- Periods of confusion or uncertainty
- Experiences of loss in any form
- Stress related to work or career
- Conflicts faced by parents in today's society
- Struggles faced by teenagers in everyday life
I offer every person a safe space to be honest and authentic, to be seen and heard without judgment. As we journey through life, we are likely to face change at different stages of life. I have been able to support individuals who have struggled with loss, grief, low self-esteem and health implications. I have developed my practice in areas as such baby loss and infertility and how this has affected individuals; understanding the sensitivity and compassion needed when supporting with such matters. I have the innate ability to make people feel seen and heard in a safe and supportive way. My practice is anchored in person centred work placing the client at the centre of my practice.
I have over 20 years of experience of working with people where I have been able to support people, of all ages in a range of different ways.
As a qualified therapist, my role will be to gently support you to understand and navigate impacting life events, build your emotional resilience, support you to gain new skills to deal with the challenges life may present. Please be assured I offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to explore and unpick the whatever life presents; both the expected and the unexpected.

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.
