About me
I provide therapy/counselling in Worcester and online to help you build your confidence, ease anxiety, and live the life you want to lead.
Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, or like you're the only person who doesn't have their life together. I understand what's it like to have an inner critic that tells you you're not good enough, to spend hours worrying about the 'what ifs', to feel lost and lonely. But you don't have to keep feeling this way.
Many of my clients are Millennials and Gen Z experiencing low self-worth, low self-esteem and low self-confidence. They're looking for ways to feel happy again, to feel comfortable being who they really are, and to stop the overwhelming thoughts.
They might:
- Feel depressed, anxious and stuck
- Feel like they can't be themselves around others
- Constantly worry what other people think of them
- Struggle with their identity, particularly if they're LGBTQ+
- Be deeply affected by difficult relationships and feel stuck in the past
- Be perfectionists or people-pleasers
- Wonder why life feels so overwhelming
How I work
Therapy with me is all about warmth, curiosity, and personalising the experience to you.
My approach is collaborative. Using discussion, psychoeducation and the occasional creative technique, we'll work together to gain insight and understanding, create meaning, process your emotions, and build confidence and resilience as we work towards your therapeutic goals. Therapy with me is all about learning from your past, repairing your present, and building your future.
Ultimately, therapy works because it's about providing you with a therapeutic relationship (think: nurturing, supportive and curious) in which you can learn about yourself and grow to be more you. Not a new you, but all the wonderful things you already are.
What I can help you with
- Grow your confidence and your understanding of who you are
- Work to overcome depression and/or anxiety, so you can feel more like yourself
- Calm overwhelming thoughts and feelings, allowing you to experience challenging emotions without feeling controlled by them
- Navigate relationship issues and conflict, learning how to be yourself in your relationships
- Quiet your inner critic so you can move more comfortably through your life
Often, that feeling that you're not good enough is behind many common mental health problems, meaning that if we can work on your relationship with yourself, we can help you to grow.

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.
