About me

Are you or a loved one facing anxiety, grief, or relationship difficulties?  

I provide compassionate, professional counselling for adults, children and couples, in-person, through walking sessions, or online, working at your pace. With a Level 5 qualification in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, I draw on my experience working in mental health, with children in schools and coaching adults in the workplace to support you to navigate trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions in confidence. Together, we can work toward increasing your emotional well-being and making meaningful changes in a safe and supportive environment, with most clients seeing improvements in 6 weeks.

I specialise in integrating talking therapy with a range of therapeutic modalities and techniques, offering a personalised approach for your individual needs. This is particularly effective for those dealing with deep-seated emotional pain, anxiety and trauma, providing tools and insights that bring relief, and restore a sense of balance back in your life.

Counselling can assist with a variety of issues and challenges, I offer support as you work through challenging times, to gain insight into your emotional state and the difficulties you're encountering, giving you the opportunity to explore and reflect. I offer techniques and strategies to help you cope more effectively and navigate life’s challenges.

I am passionate about supporting individuals within culturally diverse communities and promoting inclusivity  in my practice, where everyone is respected, affirmed and heard. 

Please contact me to arrange a free initial phone call to discuss your needs and explore how we can work together.

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.
