About me
I am a qualified counsellor who specialises in working with teenagers and young adults. Teenagers and young adults can face problems that can be challenging for them and it can be difficult to know who to turn to. Sometimes talking to family can be hard for teenagers as they often don't want to upset or worry their family. Talking to someone completely separate from their everyday life can sometimes be helpful and can take away the burden of holding everything in.
During the counselling process, I will provide a safe, judgement free environment to support you or your child to express thoughts, feelings and experiences.
Everyone is different so I adapt our approach depending on how you like to express yourself. I can offer person-centred counselling if you need space to process past experiences and emotions, or we can take a solution-focused approach with CBT if you need more techniques and to challenge the way you think. Sometimes a combination of both is appropriate.
I am a registered member of the BACP and I work within their ethical framework.
In everyday life we do not always get a chance to check in with ourselves and process our feelings and experiences, having someone separate from everyday life to listen and support you can be very helpful. You must find the right counsellor that you feel you can connect with and feel comfortable with.
I have worked a lot with anxiety, including panic attacks, social anxiety and exam anxiety. I have also supported young people struggling with low mood, self-harm, bereavement, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, stress, social difficulties, parental separation and school avoidance. I also have a lot of experience working with neurodivergent children and young people.
Over the past 5 years, I have worked in schools providing 1-to-1 support, group work and delivering workshops. As well as providing counselling and therapy for children and young people, I also work in the NHS as a Mental Health Practitioner.

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.
