About me
I am a person-centred counsellor offering private counselling in Leeds and the surrounding areas. I work with individual adults aged 18+, couples and those experiencing family relationship difficulties.
People seek counselling for many different reasons. You may be feeling anxious, low in mood, overwhelmed by stress or struggling in your relationships. You may be carrying the impact of bereavement, trauma, anger, abuse or difficult childhood experiences. Whatever brings you, I offer a safe and confidential space where you can talk openly and at your own pace.
I have undertaken additional training in ADHD and autism and work with neurodivergent adults, offering a respectful and understanding environment to explore how this may affect daily life, confidence and relationships.
Person-centred counselling places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of the work. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to work alongside you with empathy and acceptance as you develop greater self-awareness and find a way forward that feels right for you.
Alongside my counselling practice, I am also a qualified clinical supervisor and provide supervision to counsellors and trainees.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a professionally trained person-centred counsellor and Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP 386437).
I have completed additional training in couples therapy and work with partners seeking support with communication, conflict, trust and navigating significant life changes. I also undertake ongoing professional development in areas including anxiety, trauma, bereavement, ADHD and autism.
Before training as a counsellor, I worked as a nurse in cardiology and later qualified as a health visitor, supporting families with young children. This healthcare background has given me extensive experience of working with people during times of vulnerability, change and emotional difficulty.
I am a qualified clinical supervisor and an approved supervisor at Leeds Trinity University and Edge Hill University (Liverpool), providing supervision to counsellors and trainees.
I am committed to ongoing supervision and continuing professional development to ensure my practice remains safe, ethical and reflective.
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.
