About me

Together, we can work with whatever challenges you're facing.

As an integrative counselling psychotherapist, I work with Couples and Individuals. I offer a person-centred approach to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and Attachment (relationships). I am available for sessions online but I prefer face-to-face appointments with rooms in Salisbury, Amesbury.

We might work to alleviate distress and detangle some of life's challenges: Anxiety, Work stress, Depression, low mood, Confidence, low self esteem, lack of motivation, Anger, avoidance, and Relationship issues.

With lived experience of neurodiversity - ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia - we gently explore how you can move ahead, with time to talk, feeling seen, and being heard in the safe space of the therapeutic relationship.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Areas of counselling I deal with

Other areas of counselling I deal with

Neurodiversity

As neuro-inclusive practice, I am curious about the ways we move through the world with ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia & Dyspraxia. We might have self-limiting beliefs or unhelpful behaviours to address within ourselves, to learn coping strategies in noisy world that can feel unkind to us at times.

Relationships, trouble with other people 

Human interactions can be really complicated and I'm very interested in some of the ways we can be better with ourselves and for others, towards healthier relationships over time, to move forward with more kindness.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

In Amesbury, we are proud to have a private space on the ground floor with free parking. As a purpose-built facility SQ offers full access with a chairlift to the Cafe and Group Activity areas.
