About me
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by emotions?
Life can sometimes feel confusing and heavy. You may be experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, or a loss of confidence in yourself. At times like these, having the right support can make all the difference.
Therapy with me is about creating positive change in your life. Whether you want to feel lighter, build resilience, strengthen relationships, simply understand yourself better or so you can express yourself freely, I am here to help you move forward. This is your journey, and I will walk alongside you.
I have 13 years of experience in the addiction field and have also worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and those navigating transitional periods in life. As a psychotherapist, I have seen first-hand how people can transform their lives when given the right support. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and always at your pace. Together, we will focus on what matters most to you and the changes you want to see.
I also specialise in bereavement and in supporting parents and families who have experienced the loss of a baby through stillbirth or neonatal death. If you are navigating this painful grief, I offer a safe, empathetic space where your feelings are heard, validated, and gently supported.
Counselling offers you:
· A safe, confidential space to pause and untangle your thoughts.
· The chance to explore emotions without judgment.
· Tools and strategies to help you cope with challenges in healthier ways.
· Greater self-understanding, clarity, and confidence moving forward.
I offer face-to-face, online, phone, and walk-and-talk sessions, as well as a free initial consultation so you can decide if I feel like the right fit for you.
You do not have to go through this alone. Taking the first step can open the door to healing, clarity, and growth. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.

I have a special interest in supporting adults through transitional periods in life, including baby loss, fertility challenges, perimenopause and menopause, empty nest, and addiction recovery. I also help manage the side effects of stress, anxiety, and depression caused by these transitions. With compassionate, trauma-informed therapy, I help you rebuild and find clarity. Let us work together to navigate change and reclaim your sense of self.
