About me
I’m a fully qualified and registered Therapeutic Counsellor (MBACP, Dip.Couns), offering face-to-face counselling in Leeds and online therapy across the UK.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step. You may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or unsure why things feel harder than they seem. Perhaps you’re asking yourself:
- Why do I feel constantly on edge?
- Why does everything feel so overwhelming?
- Why don’t I feel fully comfortable being myself?
- Is this just how life is going to be?
These are the kinds of experiences we can explore together.
How I Work
I offer a calm, down-to-earth, and non-judgemental space where you can speak openly and at your own pace. At the heart of my approach is the belief that feeling genuinely understood is what allows meaningful change to happen.
I work integratively, tailoring therapy to you as an individual. No two people are the same, and our work together shouldn’t be either. Some clients benefit from reflective exploration; others prefer more structure or practical tools. We find the balance that works for you.
I bring professional knowledge and training into the room in an accessible, “no-nonsense” way, therapy shouldn’t feel clinical or full of jargon. My priority is that you feel safe, respected, and supported throughout the process.
Neurodiversity & LGBTQIA+ Affirming Practice
I offer therapy that is fully affirming of neurodiversity and LGBTQIA+ identities.
Whatever your experience or where you are on these spectrums, you're welcome here. You won’t need to spend time explaining or justifying yourself.
I bring understanding that allows our work to focus on you, your goals, and what matters most to you.
Whether identity is central to our sessions or part of the wider context of your life, you’ll be met with respect, openness, and curiosity.
What Therapy Can Help With
People I work with often seek support for:
Anxiety and overwhelm
- Low mood
- Relationship challenges
- Feeling stuck or directionless
- Life transitions
- Identity or self-esteem concerns
Through therapy, many begin to experience greater clarity, steadiness, improved relationships, and a stronger sense of self-trust.
Ways to Work Together
- Online Therapy – via secure video call or telephone (Google Meet, WhatsApp, or Discord).
- In-Person Therapy (Leeds) – held in private counselling rooms.
Taking the Next Step
It’s important that you feel your counsellor is the right fit. I offer a free 15-minute introductory call to see if working together feels comfortable and supportive.
You don’t have to work everything out alone — support is available, and therapy can help you move toward clarity, control, and a sense of purpose.
If this resonates with you, I welcome you to get in touch!

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.

Further information
I use an eclective approach in my practice. This means that techniques from different models of therapy are incorporated to best benefit you as my client. During your free 15 minute consultation, we will discuss what has brought you to therapy, and what you would like to get out of it. Understanding this will enable a counselling approach to be tailored specifically to you.
Online and face to face appointments available. Get in touch today.
