About me
Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, especially if you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin.
You might be struggling with anxiety, loss, or difficulties in your relationships or working life. You may feel like you’re trying to cope on your own, or that things have become too much to manage.
I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and begin to make sense of what you’re going through, at your own pace.
I work with both adults and young people, and have particular experience supporting young people in educational settings alongside my private practice.
My approach is person-centred and trauma-informed, meaning I focus on understanding your experience from your perspective, while recognising how past experiences can shape how you feel and relate in the present.
I also draw on other approaches, including CBT, where this feels helpful, and may offer practical tools or psychoeducation to support you.
I have experience supporting a range of difficulties, including anxiety, bereavement and loss, low mood, and challenges within relationships or the workplace. I have also undertaken specialist bereavement training, including working with experiences of child loss.
Whatever you’re going through, you will be met with warmth, respect, and understanding.
If you’re unsure about starting therapy, I offer a free initial phone conversation where we can talk through what you’re looking for and whether working together feels right.

Member organisations
school 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 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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
