About me
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like something just isn’t quite right?
You might be facing a specific issue, or perhaps there's a deeper sense that change is needed — even if you're not sure what that change looks like yet. Whether you're looking for clarity, support through a transition, or simply a safe and confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings, counselling can help. There’s no “right” reason to reach out — what matters is your readiness to begin.
About me:
My approach to counselling is grounded in respect, empathy, and trust in your inner resources.
I work from a non-directive, person-centred perspective, rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your life. My role is to listen with care, without judgement, and to create a space where you feel deeply understood and fully accepted. I value diversity and will always honour your unique values, choices, and cultural identity.
Through a compassionate and collaborative relationship, we can work together at your pace — whether you're navigating a challenge, healing from past experiences, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself. My own experience, both as therapist and client, has shown me that real change becomes possible when we are met with presence, patience, and authenticity.
I offer online counselling in a way that suits your life — whether through video sessions on Google Meet, text-based support via WhatsApp, or flexible email exchanges.
If you’d like to explore working together, please feel free to get in touch.

I am an approved therapist for Bupa and also provide counselling for several Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) upon request. I bring extensive experience from working in a Rape Crisis and Sexual Abuse Centre, delivering both individual counselling and therapeutic groups, as well as counselling within NHS primary care mental health services. Additionally, I have supported clients experiencing bereavement and worked in a residential drug and alcohol treatment centre. I am a registered, accredited member of the BACP and adhere to their Ethical Framework.
As a person-centred counsellor, I see each person holistically rather than defining them by their presenting issues. However, it can be helpful to know some common concerns my clients have brought to counselling, including:
Self-harm, suicidal feelings, addiction, domestic violence, childhood abuse and neglect, bereavement, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, body image, mental health challenges, sexual issues, sexual violence and abuse, family and relationship difficulties, spirituality and religious questioning, parenting concerns, and issues related to aging.
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.
