About me

I am a mental health counsellor and counselling supervisor in the Warwickshire area in the United Kingdom, though I am originally from Texas in the United States.

My style in session is honest, warm and open. I aim to make our time and space together whatever you need, whether you need to scream, curse, cry, laugh or just be. My treatment approach is integrative (involving humanistic, person-centred, existential, and cognitive behavioural therapy), though largely person-centred. This means I don't presume to know your truths or what is best for you, but aim to explore your perspectives, your feelings and support you in finding your own answers for yourself. We focus on what is important to you, in a way that feels right for you. Therapy isn't comfortable or easy, but I'm willing to stick with you through the awkward, scary and painful moments. Let's do this together.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am an accredited counsellor through the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP, 377749). 

I completed my counselling training at the University of North Texas in 2017, emphasizing interests in cognitive behavioural therapy, counselling adolescents and young adults and expressive arts therapy. As a queer therapist that understands identity and relationships can be integral to personal wellness, I am passionate about gender, sexuality and relationship diversity. I completed training at Southern Methodist University in LGBT affirmative therapy to better support clients of a diverse gender identity, sexuality or relationship orientation. Following my move to the UK in 2018, I completed a conversion psychology course at Coventry University, researching counselling self-efficacy with psychosis. Additionally, I have completed a postgraduate certificate of Person-Centred Experiential Counselling (PCE) at Nottingham University in 2022. I started supervising in 2024 and will be undergoing the Person-Centred Experiential Counselling Supervisor Training in February 2025 with Nottingham University. 

Clients come to therapy for a variety of reasons. With my clients, I have worked with a range of issues not limited to anxiety, depression, phobias, sexuality, self-esteem, trauma, pre-bereavement/bereavement, life transitions, gender identity, workplace concerns, meaninglessness or purposelessness, sleep problems and abuse.

I have previously worked with a crisis and suicide response teams in Texas, providing intensive case management and counselling in difficult situations. I also worked as a hospital liaison for clients in inpatient settings, helping them transition to life following hospitalisation. I also offered counselling voluntarily with the Shakespeare Hospice for 2 years from 2021-2023, providing counselling for those in end of life care and those who faced bereavement. In addition to private practice, I also work as a counsellor for depression in the NHS. 

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

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.

Further information

Each session is 50 minutes long and tends to happen a weekly or fortnightly basis. This can occur for as long as you feel is helpful for you. 

I can offer flexibility in scheduling sessions, including some evening and weekend times. I currently offer sessions via telephone and video with greater flexibility.  I can offer face to face sessions throughout the week at Tyler House in Stratford for those who would like face to face sessions. I also will consider home visit sessions in special circumstances, so please ask.

I offer a free initial consultation, via phone or video, for us to get to know one another, ask questions and see if we are a good fit for one another. I understand that the decision to start counselling can be scary and uncomfortable. So having an initial chat can help you make whatever decision is right for you.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
