About me
As an accredited BACP counsellor with over 14 years of experience, I specialise in Humanistic Integrative Counselling—an approach that honours the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit.
I believe that everyone holds the potential to move beyond fear and difficulty. By cultivating self-awareness, compassion, and understanding, we can grow in confidence and create more meaningful, fulfilling lives.
At the heart of my practice is a commitment to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore both conscious and unconscious experiences. I see the therapeutic relationship as a powerful catalyst for healing—one that supports ongoing self-discovery and transformation. With the right support, new possibilities emerge, along with a deeper sense of inner peace.
I am trained to listen deeply, reflect with care, and offer gentle, encouraging guidance. Together, we work to clarify the challenges you face and uncover pathways to change. My aim is to create an environment where you feel truly seen, understood, and empowered to reconnect with your authentic self.
Clients often share that they leave our sessions feeling calmer, more confident, and more aligned with their direction in life. Alongside deep emotional work, I also offer practical tools to manage anxiety, unhelpful thought patterns, and compulsive behaviours—helping you build a more balanced and resilient life.

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.
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.
