About me
We all go through difficult seasons when we may need support to make sense of what we are experiencing. You may be feeling anxious, confused, frustrated, sad or perhaps disconnected from your emotions and unsure why. You may be struggling with a loss, a relationship breakdown or a difficult life transition. , or experiences that feel too heavy to carry alone.
I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can come as you are and explore your thoughts and feelings at your pace. I believe that being truly heard and accepted can be a powerful part of the therapeutic journey. Together, we can gently explore your experiences, helping you to develop a more profound understanding of yourself and what you need.
I understand that trusting another person with your story can take time, particularly if you have experienced relationships where you have felt unheard or misunderstood. Building a mutual, genuine therapeutic relationship is central to my approach. Through our work together, I will support you with empathic understanding and genuineness, helping you reconnect with yourself and move towards growth and change. This builds greater self-awareness and acceptance of what is important for you. This creates a greater understanding of yourself and the therapeutic tools that will support and sustain you moving forward.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have extensive experience supporting clients through a range of grief and loss experiences, recognising that grief is not limited to the death of someone we love. I have worked alongside clients who have experienced bereavement, as well as the emotional impact of relationship breakdown, separation, loss of friendships, changes in family circumstances and other significant transitions.
I understand that loss can affect individuals differently, often related to how and whether you have experienced previous losses in your life. The process of grieving can feel like a rollercoaster with conflicting emotions. This is a normal part of the process that can make us feel stuck and can also affect other areas of our lives.
I will provide compassionate support and guidance to help you navigate your healing journey. I am dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where you can explore your feelings and experiences. I will always ensure that you feel heard and respected without any judgement and feel comfortable in a safe therapeutic environment. As you gain more self-awareness, you will feel increasingly empowered to move forward through your challenges during the therapeutic process.
I understand the complex nature of childhood trauma and how the impact of learned behaviour can affect our emotional health as adults. This can be a compelling healing journey. Through tailored interventions, I will support you in working through changes in your life and help you discover a stronger sense of self and resilience.

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.
