About me

Life can feel overwhelming when we face change, uncertainty, or challenging experiences. Relationship difficulties, work stress, major life transitions, or emotional struggles can leave us feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected from ourselves.

I provide a safe and compassionate space to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. My work is grounded in an attachment-based approach, helping us understand how early relationships and life experiences shape the way we relate to ourselves and others, and how this may influence the difficulties you face now.

While I have particular experience supporting people through loss, serious illness, and life-limiting conditions, I work with a wide range of emotional and relational concerns. Together, we can build insight, self-compassion, and emotional resilience, helping you feel more grounded and supported when life feels overwhelming.

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.
