About me
I am an integrative counsellor offering a confidential, respectful and non-judgemental space where you can explore what is happening for you and begin to make sense of your experiences.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted from trying to cope, or struggling with patterns that keep repeating. Perhaps you find yourself putting other people’s needs first, feeling disconnected from yourself, lacking confidence, or carrying experiences from the past that continue to affect you.
Therapy can provide a space to slow things down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and explore the thoughts, feelings and experiences that shape how you see yourself and the world around you.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, health anxiety, stress, burnout, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, addiction, relationship difficulties and the impact of difficult life experiences. I also have an interest in supporting people who are exploring their identity, understanding themselves better, or navigating life transitions and change.
My approach is person-centred and integrative, meaning our work together is shaped around you as an individual. I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on what feels most helpful, while ensuring therapy moves at a pace that feels manageable.
I have experience working within therapeutic communities and specialist settings, supporting adults with complex trauma, addiction and emotional difficulties. I have also worked within young person's counselling services and educational environments.
My aim is to offer a space that combines compassion with honest exploration helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, recognise patterns that may no longer be serving you, and work towards meaningful change.
I work with adults aged 16+ and welcome clients from all backgrounds. If you would like to ask any questions or arrange an initial session, please feel free to get in touch.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed my counselling training through the Counselling & Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB):

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).
