About me
If you are looking for a counsellor who offers warmth, empathy and a non-judgemental approach within an honest, trusting and secure environment, please get in touch.
I have worked with clients who are struggling with anxiety (GAD). It is one of the main reasons people seek counselling. Other clients I have worked with have come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by stress, caught in cycles of overthinking, or struggling to understand why they feel the way they do.
You may be experiencing difficulties in your relationships, adjusting to becoming a parent and feeling as though you've lost your sense of self, or comparing yourself to others and wondering how they seem to have it all together. Some people come to counselling because they feel sad, empty or disconnected. They may be surrounded by people who love them, yet still feel lonely.
I also have experience supporting individuals who are exploring whether they are autistic or already have a diagnosis. This can bring many emotions and leave you feeling uncertain, overwhelmed or lost. For some, a diagnosis offers relief and answers; for others, it can raise questions about identity, relationships and how they have experienced the world. I offer a supportive, understanding and non-judgemental environment where you can explore your feelings, make sense of your experiences and develop a deeper understanding of yourself at your own pace.
Most often, people seek counselling because they feel stuck, unsatisfied or lost and are longing for something to change. Life can be challenging, and it's normal to feel uncertain about how to move forward. You don't have to face those challenges alone.
I believe in the power of person-centred counselling. By building a positive therapeutic relationship based on trust, empathy and acceptance, I aim to provide a space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.
Together, we will explore what you are struggling with and identify approaches and strategies that work for you. The overall aim of our work is to help you move towards a life that feels more authentic, balanced and grounded, with a greater sense of belonging and calm.
Never had counselling before?
I offer a 30-minute introductory session, giving us the opportunity to get to know each other and explore whether we feel like a good fit. The relationship between counsellor and client is important, and it's essential that you feel comfortable enough to share your thoughts and feelings openly.
Sessions last 60 minutes. I offer open-ended counselling, which means you can have as many sessions as you feel you need. You determine the pace of our work together, and I respect your autonomy and readiness to share.
I also offer more focused, solution-oriented counselling in blocks of 6 or 12 sessions, which we review together and extend if appropriate.
I am a fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. Through my work, I have built meaningful therapeutic relationships grounded in trust, respect and empathy, supporting clients through difficult periods in their lives and helping them move towards positive change.
Please feel free to call, text or email me to arrange an initial appointment. I would be happy to talk with you about how we might work together.

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.
