About me
A problem shared is a problem halved.
As a qualified and certified counsellor, I have years of experience working with and supporting clients from all different backgrounds, I believe in honesty and integrity in both my work and life, and I understand just how difficult it can be to face life's challenges.
If you are experiencing anxiety? depression or feeling low? Trying to make sense of what your going through in your life? Whatever feelings and issues you are experiencing, you don't have to struggle on your own. I cant promise to have all the answers but what I can offer with my skills & life experience is empathy, a safe non judgemental and confidential space for you to talk about anything that is bothering you.
When problems are kept to oneself, they can become magnified, and by talking about them, and taking a step back from your problems, this can help to reflect a different perspective, within the counselling process I believe its the clients that hold the answers, I can help to unlock those answers and bring them to the surface, working through them together one stage at a time.
Clients have informed me that the counselling process has been helpful to share their emotions with someone who is not close to them, to understand their emotions and themselves better, they have felt supported, listened to and found it a valuable process as part of their journey.
I work with clients using the integrative approach which enables me to draw from different modalities such as CBT, Psychodynamic and Person centred, I combine these to assist clients and their individual presenting issues, implementing them when needed.
For all enquiries please contact me directly through the official counselling directory or BACP website and if you have any questions or queries please don't hesitate to ask.
I offer a free initial no obligation chat over the phone upon request, clients can find this helpful to decide if I could be the right fit for them and if they would like to book a first session.

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.
