About me
I work with individual adults and couples.
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you struggling with your mental health? Is your mood low? Do you feel sad? Or maybe you can't describe what you feel, but you're not happy. Therapy can help.
I have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, bereavement and relationship struggles.
As an Integrative Relational Counsellor, I have training in various approaches, enabling me to tailor our work together specifically to you.
I offer a service that affirms difference, is non-judgmental, and is embedded in an anti-discrimination approach. I am an ally of the LGBTQ community. By working together, we can create a safe and confidential space to explore whatever may be on your mind, in your own time. I believe that trust is central to building a successful therapeutic relationship.
Couples Therapy
Are you having trouble in your relationship? You love each other, but something has to change. Do you struggle to communicate with each other? What needs to be said that you've been holding back? Is there anger and resentment? Are you possibly feeling ready to separate and need a space to explore those feelings?
I can support couples in working out their familiar patterns and how to move forward.
There are many reasons couples come into therapy, and I will support you in exploring what may be underlying and help you move towards a solution.
Training, qualifications & experience
BA (Hons) Degree in Integrative Relational Counselling (first class honours) from Middlesex University
CPCAB Level 5 Diploma in Couples and Relationship Counselling
Registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy)
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.

My fee for individuals is £65 for a 50 minute session and for couples is £85 for a 60 minute session. Sessions are held weekly, on the same day and at the same time. Counselling can be both short term or open-ended, depending on what your specific concerns are.
