About me
Do you long to feel differently—but don’t know where to begin?
If you’re thinking of starting counselling, you might be feeling anxious?
- Lost or fed up—tired of carrying heavy thoughts about yourself that just won’t shift?
- Maybe you’re stuck in cycles of self-criticism, low self-worth, low self esteem or uncomfortable feelings about your body or identity? Not sure who you are anymore?
- You might be finding it hard to trust yourself, your emotions may feel too much or not enough, and may be coming out in ways you can’t always control?
- Perhaps old memories sit close to the surface, or anxiety keeps pulling you away from the life you want to live?
Counselling can be a place to start—somewhere to feel supported, seen, and gently begin to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.
What to Expect
Starting therapy can feel daunting and you might wonder:
“Will they really get it?”
“What if my problems are too much—or not enough?”
“Will I feel judged or misunderstood?”
I understand those fears. That’s why I offer a free 20-minute consultation—to help you get a feel for how I work, ask any questions (no question is silly), and explore whether this could be the right fit.

Sessions are led by you, at your pace. I’ll walk alongside you with care and curiosity, always working with you and without pressure.
My approach:
Our early experiences shape how we see ourselves and the world. Sometimes, we lose touch with who we really are. My job is to help you to understand how that happened, and to look at what you want now, so you can live the life you really want.
I am an Integrative counsellor which means that I'll get to know you and work with you to find out what works for you.
If you're someone who spends your life being there for others, but struggle to extend that same care towards yourself, I will support you to develop compassion and to support your own wellbeing.
I specialise in embodied and somatic work which means that I don’t just offer talking therapy. I also support you to tune into the feelings and sensations that are stored in your body. This can be helpful if you are struggling with anxiety, low self worth or trauma.
Listening to your body can help you to understand the things that your brain can’t quite put into words. It helps with:
- letting go of painful memories
- regulating emotions
- managing anxiety
Albert Einstein said that “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” But it can be hard to know how to change our thinking, so instead I like to work creatively, so you can see things in different ways. This may mean, writing things down, drawing, using gentle movement, breathwork, guided visualisations or using objects such as stones or cards to think out of the box.
You already hold the wisdom you need—my role is to help you uncover it.
I work with adults and young people experiencing issues such as:
Trauma & PTSD
Anxiety & overwhelm
People-pleasing & Perfectionism
Low self-worth & Low Self esteem
Childhood abuse
Disconnection & emotional numbness
Ready to begin?
My clients often tell me they feel calmer, more grounded, and more connected to who they are. They begin to set boundaries, trust themselves again, and feel more at home in their own skin.
If you’re ready to explore how therapy might support you, let’s talk.

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.

Additional information
Getting the right counsellor for you is important so I offer a free short consultation online or by phone. This is your time to tell me what's going on for you and what's bringing you to counselling. I will answer any questions you have and we can talk together about what you are hoping to gain from counselling.

The time and the space is yours. No question is silly or unimportant.
If you decide that you'd like to move forward with the counselling and I think that what you are looking for is something I can support you to work towards, then we can look at finding a time that works for you.
Counselling normally takes place on a weekly basis at the same time each week. It's you setting aside time for you.
You can choose from sessions face to face, online or over the phone.
After the free consultation, sessions are charged at £75.00, which is payable 48 hours before each session.
I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and follow their ethical framework to ensure that the work we do together is safe for us both. I offer counselling & coaching sessions from my Chippenham practice or online.

Further information
Counselling is a personal experience and so it will be different for everyone but it is a space for you to share, in your own time and in your own way, what's going on for you. To help you to unfold your story I will ask you questions and by really listening to your responses I will support you as you dig deeper into your own understanding of what is means to be you. I understand that it can be scary to explore what's going on, especially if your experiences in the past have been overwhelming or unsafe, so first we will create a place that is safe together and move forward at your own pace.
