About me

Welcome!  I am an experienced counsellor and supervisor, here to walk alongside you through life’s challenges, offering an open, respectful space that values your perspective and pace.

I practice integrative counselling, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor support to your unique needs. I believe therapy is more than just talking—it’s about discovering new ways of relating to yourself and others and finding the resilience to create meaningful change.

Our sessions move at your pace. I’ll listen with care and curiosity, offer insights when helpful, and adapt our work to what truly matters to you. Together, we work toward self-acceptance, growth, and change.

What we can explore

  • Make sense of your thoughts and emotions.
  • Uncover patterns that may no longer serve you.
  • Reconnect with your values and sense of agency.
  • Cultivate self-compassion and resilience.

"Being different" is something to respect and honor. Let's explore your feelings and navigate life's complexities!

  • Mental Health: Working with people experiencing concerns such as depression, anxiety, psychosis, and addictions.
  • Identity & Belonging: Supporting those exploring cultural identity, belonging, or intergenerational conflict, especially clients for whom English is a second or additional language.
  • Marginalisation & Trauma: Working with individuals facing marginalisation, shame, or trauma.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy

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

My counselling practice is based at the Integral LIFE Centre, 44 High St, Bagshot GU19 5AW. I provide a welcoming and inclusive environment that supports mental health and promotes healing.

I offer a free 20-minute consultation to help determine whether my services are the right therapeutic fit for you. If not, I am happy to provide referrals.

Reduced rate at the first session, which marks the start of our journey toward growth and healing. During this session, I will ask about your reasons for seeking therapy and your goals. This helps us get to know each other and provides me with important insights.

Therapy sessions typically last 50 minutes. Many clients notice progress within 6 to 8 sessions, though the duration of therapy varies based on individual needs.

You retain full control over your therapeutic journey, including decisions about the length of therapy and when to conclude session.
