About me
Welcome to my profile.
Maybe you've spent years feeling like you don't quite fit, masking, second guessing yourself, or feeling exhausted from trying to meet expectations that weren't built with you in mind. Perhaps anxiety, low mood or relationship struggles have become harder to carry alone and you're not sure where to begin making sense of it all.
I am a registered counsellor working with clients from a broad range of backgrounds. I aim to work at your pace helping you understand your behaviour, emotions and needs that may have gone unmet. Whether you are formally diagnosed as neurodivergent, identify through your traits or are simply looking for a space where you don't have to keep explaining yourself. I offer a confidential and non-judgemental space.
My aim is to build a therapeutic relationship where you can feel heard, understood and supported, a space to build self-awareness, understand your needs, develop new coping skills, build resilience and greater self-compassion.
Couples
I work with couples experiencing a wide range of relationship challenges, including communication difficulties, parenting differences, frequent conflict and feeling disconnected. My approach is collaborative, recognising that every relationship is unique and shaped by each partner's experiences and circumstances.
I provide a safe and non judgemental space where both people can express their thoughts and feelings openly. Together, we can develop how to improve communication, identify goals and find practical ways to strengthen your relationship.
About my practice
My work is supported through clinical supervision with a UKCP registered Supervisor and Psychotherapist. I hold full professional indemnity insurance and am registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
I am a member of the UK Association for Transactional Analysis (UKATA), a registered member of the BACP and an accredited member of the NCPS. I adhere to the ethical frameworks and professional standards of these organisations.

Before training as a counsellor, I spent several years as a Registered Nurse in the NHS. I've since worked in private practice, the volunteer sector and as an approved counsellor with Anxiety UK.
Continuing Professional Development:
- Working with Neurodiverse Couples

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
