About me
Coming to counselling for the first time can feel daunting and often takes courage. Drawing on over ten years’ experience in practice, I offer a calm, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly, at your own pace.
You may be seeking support following a loss or separation, or struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. Perhaps past experiences feel overwhelming, or you’re left with a general sense that something isn’t quite right. Whatever brings you, therapy can offer a space to reflect, gain clarity, and begin to make meaningful changes.
My work is grounded in psychodynamic counselling, which focuses on understanding how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape the way we think, feel, and relate to others. The therapeutic relationship is central to this process. Together, we will explore recurring patterns and gently challenge what may be holding you back, helping you develop greater self-awareness and resilience.
I work with individuals and couples, offering both short and long-term counselling, in person and online.

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.
