About me

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may be feeling anxious, low, stuck or unsure of where to turn, or perhaps you simply want to understand yourself better and create positive change.

I offer a safe, confidential and compassionate space for young people aged 13+ and adults, where you can talk openly, feel heard and be yourself without judgement.

Whether you're struggling with:

Stress and feeling overwhelmed
Panic attacks
Worry and overthinking
Relationship difficulties
Family difficulties
Anger and emotional regulation
Confidence and self-worth
Identity and self-discovery
Understanding ADHD
Life transitions and change
School/University or exam stress
Bullying
Loneliness and isolation
Separation or divorce
Bereavement
Workplace difficulties
Burnout
Difficulties with boundaries
Coping with life changes
Past or difficult experiences
Emotional difficulties
Feeling lost or lacking direction

You don’t have to face it alone.

I work collaboratively with you, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches and tailoring our sessions to your individual needs. We will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you, focusing on what matters most to you.

My aim is to help you explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, develop greater self-awareness and support you in making meaningful changes that feel right for you.

Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. This is your time, your space and your journey.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

I have started private practice and changed my 20-year career to counselling. I know how hard it is to come out of day-to-day expectations to where you feel run down, angry, upset, and generally not your true self.

I work with clients of all ages. Coming to counselling is a big step and is about you, and through our sessions we will manage your goals and review how the work is helping you. I am fully insured & ICO registered.

Whatever your story, age, or background, you are welcome here. I work with a diverse range of clients and value the unique perspectives that different life experiences bring.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
