About me
I am an experienced and qualified counsellor based in Marlborough, Wiltshire and Newbury, Berkshire. I provide individual therapy for adults and adolescents. Empathetic and passionate in my counselling work, I will be helping you navigate life’s difficulties, working with you towards personal growth and clarity by providing a safe and non-judgmental space; building trust in a mutually meaningful relationship and encouraging you to voice your experiences, thoughts, feelings and emotions. Placing a strong emphasis on the quality of our developing therapeutic relationship, exploring together the challenges and changes bringing you to therapy.
I am an integrative counsellor - which means I work with you to choose the right therapeutic approach. I am a registered member of BACP and have enhanced DBS certification.
My client focus is Adolescents, Adults & Elders
Training, qualifications & experience
I have extensive experience working with young adults, supporting them through a wide range of challenges, including relationships, life transitions, complex family dynamics, bereavement, depression, identity exploration, purpose, low mood, anxiety, stress, and feelings of overwhelm. Over the past decade, my work with this age group has deepened, allowing me to develop a nuanced understanding of how to effectively support and empower young people during a time when life can often feel uncertain and turbulent.
My approach is collaborative. Together, we make sense of the challenges you’re facing, identify your unique emotional regulation needs and find the words to express your feelings. I believe in creating a safe space where emotional pain can be explored with empathy, understanding, and compassion. By working together in a relational, sense-making way, we can navigate the complexity of your story and focus on meaningful growth.

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.
