About me
Welcome. I’m glad you’ve found your way here.
Reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, often long before the first message is even sent. You may be carrying something painful, feeling overwhelmed, struggling in relationships, or simply sensing that life is not feeling the way you hoped it would. Whatever brings you here, you are welcome.
What Therapy With Me Is Like
Therapy is not about being told what to do or being given quick answers. It is a space where you can slow down, feel heard without judgement, and begin to make sense of what is happening for you.
My approach is warm, collaborative and supportive. Together, we explore the thoughts, feelings and patterns that may be affecting your wellbeing, relationships or sense of self. We work at a pace that feels manageable for you, creating space for understanding, growth and change.
Sometimes this involves looking at past experiences and how they continue to shape the present. At other times, it may mean gently exploring new ways of responding to yourself and others in everyday life.
You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You are not expected to arrive knowing exactly what to say or what you need. Bringing yourself, exactly as you are, is enough.
My work is informed by Transactional Analysis, Humanistic Therapy and Integrative Psychotherapy. This means our work together is shaped around you as an individual, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
How I Can Help
I offer counselling and psychotherapy for adults in Aylesbury, across Buckinghamshire, and online throughout the UK.
I support people with a wide range of difficulties, including:
- Anxiety, panic and overwhelm
- Low mood and depression
- Trauma and difficult past experiences
- Relationship difficulties and couples counselling
- Low self-esteem, self-criticism and people-pleasing patterns
- Driving anxiety and fear behind the wheel
- Neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism
- Life transitions, identity struggles and feeling stuck in repeating patterns
- If what you are experiencing is not listed above, please still feel welcome to get in touch.
Counselling can support many different concerns, and often a short conversation is the easiest way to explore whether therapy feels right for you.
How Sessions Work
Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place weekly, with a regular appointment time reserved for you.
I offer:
- Face-to-face counselling in Aylesbury within a calm and private therapy space in my home
- Online counselling across the UK, Daytime and evening appointments, with flexibility around work and family commitments
The therapy room has been thoughtfully set up to feel comfortable, quiet and discreet. There is no waiting room and no risk of bumping into people you know on the way in, which many clients find especially reassuring when starting therapy.
Taking the First Step
The first step can simply be a short conversation, with no pressure or obligation. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about counselling, how I work, or whether we might be a good fit.
You do not have to work everything out alone.

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 UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
