About me
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I want to acknowledge the courage it can take to recognise when you may benefit from therapeutic support and to take the step towards seeking it. Whether you are experiencing loneliness, anxiety, low mood, feeling overwhelmed, confused, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can provide a safe, non-judgemental, and supportive space to explore what you are going through. I believe that the collaborative therapeutic relationship between you and your therapist is central to creating meaningful and lasting change.
Growth is an ever-evolving journey, and sometimes we need support in navigating the changes that come with it. I provide a safe, welcoming, and confidential space where you can be vulnerable, be your authentic self, and speak your truth as you explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. You will be heard, accepted, and respected as you explore your concerns and work towards meaningful change. Sessions will not feel rushed or pressured; we will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Our work together will be like building a toolbox, where you will develop skills and strategies to help you navigate some of life’s more difficult moments. By the end of our therapeutic work, my hope is that you will feel more confident and more in tune with yourself, with a greater awareness of your personal needs and a deeper understanding of who you are.
I also have specific expertise in providing therapy for individuals who have experienced childhood sexual abuse.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified and experienced therapist, trained in integrative counselling, with a Master’s degree in Psychology. My training enables me to draw upon a range of therapeutic approaches, including Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Attachment Theory, and Existential Therapy.
As a pluralistic and integrative therapist, I believe that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process. Every individual brings their own experiences, relationships, values, challenges, and strengths into the therapeutic space. I therefore adapt my approach to meet your individual needs, working collaboratively with you to develop a way of working that feels both meaningful and authentic.
My approach considers not only your individual experiences and inner world, but also the relationships and wider circumstances that shape how you understand yourself and navigate life. I believe in the transformative power of self-understanding, and my aim is to support you on this journey of self-discovery, growth, and greater self-awareness.
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.

Further information
I offer a free 15-minute telephone or video call to see if I am the right fit for you. If we decide to work together, I will ask you to complete a brief assessment form. We will then explore what has brought you to counselling, your hopes and goals for the process, and what we can expect from working together.
