About me
Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, exploring your concerns confidentially, with a supportive therapist can help to unravel and make sense of your feelings, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and ultimately, bring about change and personal growth.
I am an experienced, integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. Clients come to me for a wide range of concerns such as coping with life-limiting illness, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and relationship issues.
I have supported clients who feel they have lost their sense of identity or purpose; who are struggling to adapt to changes in their relationships and families; and who feel overwhelmed by the uncertainty of life.
I also have a special interest in helping women navigate life changes during perimenopause and menopause. As with many other life changes, menopause can bring feelings of grief; loss of identity and confidence; anxiety; and feelings of hopelessness, to name a few.
My therapeutic approach
Every client brings their own set of unique life experiences, beliefs and ways of looking at the world. As an integrative counsellor I adapt my approach to your individual needs, drawing on a variety of modalities and ways of working.
At the core of my therapeutic approach is the importance of building a strong, trusting relationship with my clients. I offer an atmosphere that is warm, accepting and compassionate, where you will be heard, understood and your experiences validated.
Next steps
It takes courage to ask for help when you are feeling distressed and it is completely normal to feel emotional, nervous or anxious when you begin therapy.
If my profile strikes a chord with you, please get in touch by email or text to arrange a free 20-minute introductory call. This call is an opportunity for you to tell me more about why you are seeking therapy, to ask any questions and to get a feel for whether I might be the right therapist for you.

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.
