About me
I offer psychotherapeutic counselling in a calm, supportive space where you can talk about what is happening in your life, at your own pace. At the heart of my practice is a genuine curiosity about people, the experiences that have shaped them, and the hopes and reasons that bring them to therapy. I believe that every person has inherent worth, and that this can be a foundation for healing and personal development. I am an empathetic practitioner who values offering steady support and the importance of metaphorically holding others while they develop the capacity to hold themselves.
Before training as a psychotherapeutic counsellor, I spent many years as a stay-at-home mum, valuing the experienceof being present with my children and witnessing their growth and development over time. This period of my life continues to inform my practice, shaping my appreciation for relationships, attunement, and the importance of being present and being alongside another person as they change and find their own way.
I see the therapeutic space as a supportive sanctuary where we can reflect on your story and explore new possibilities together. Counselling can help you make sense of your experiences, process what you are going through, develop coping strategies, and reconnect with your strengths and sense of hope. I also hold a belief in the restorative value of nature and time spent outdoors. My personal connection with the mountains, and my belief in the gentle healing effect of sunshine, inform my understanding of emotional wellbeing. In the future, I hope to work towards offering opportunities for therapy to take place outdoors, allowing others to experience the healing potential of being in nature. My practice is relational and compassionate, drawing on a range of therapeutic traditions while always respecting the uniqueness of each individual.
For me, counselling is not only about easing difficulty, but about supporting people to reconnect with themselves, rediscover wholeness, and find new ways forward. I am a registered member of the BACP and I work in accordance with the BACP codes of ethical practices.

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).
