About me
Finding yourself on a therapist directory usually means you’re looking to shift something in your life.
Sometimes that shift is chosen and sometimes it is forced upon us by a difficult loss or an unexpected life change. Whatever brought you here, it’s completely understandable if you just want to feel better and find some steady ground again.
Wanting things to be different while also feeling hesitant about change is a very natural human experience. It can be hard to know what needs to change, let alone how to make it happen. Therapy isn't a magic fix, and I don't have all the answers. I don’t tell you what to do. Instead, it is a collaborative process—one that requires your active willingness to reflect, explore, and open up to new ways of thinking and feeling so you can move forward.
As an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist, I offer a dedicated, supportive space to help you navigate life's challenges and process deep losses. Together, we can explore different ways to help you feel, think, or react differently.
How I Work
I practice as an integrative therapist. This simply means I don’t use a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we will work together to blend different therapeutic tools that best fit your unique situation and pace. My role is to offer a supportive framework, but you remain the driver of your own growth.
Our sessions won't involve me sitting in silence, nor will I tell you how to live your life. Instead, we start by understanding things from your perspective. Once we clarify what truly matters to you, we can work together to heal old wounds, find peace, and make meaningful changes. Therapy can gently highlight where you might be holding yourself back, helping you build the inner strength to handle life’s challenges.
I offer a calm, welcoming space rooted in a compassionate and realistic approach. My goal is to help you develop your own coping skills at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Sometimes, therapy is less about fixing things and more about learning to accept yourself exactly as you are—while gently exploring ways to let go of shame, regret, anxiety, and depression. It’s about discovering the courage to focus on what you can put right, rather than living in the shadow of what went wrong. We cannot rewrite our past, but we can change our relationship with it to build a more hopeful future.
It is important to know that therapy cannot guarantee a specific outcome and some situations cannot be changed, or changed by therapy alone. The process depends on your readiness and willingness to engage with the work. However, talking to someone outside your day-to-day life is often a powerful first step. Whenever you feel ready to explore things, it is never too late to look for a new perspective and find a more comfortable way forward.

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.
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.
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.
