About me
What about you? You are a self-described ‘people pleaser,’ but have you forgotten you are a person that needs pleasing? Feeling a bit overwhelmed, maybe caught in a pattern of putting others' needs ahead of your own, even when it's draining you. You might find yourself saying "yes" to things you really don’t want to do, struggling to say "no," and then feeling exhausted or second-guessing your decisions. That constant loop of replaying conversations, wondering what you should've done differently—that's exhausting too, isn't it?
Maybe you've noticed that trying to avoid conflict, or not wanting to disappoint people, has left you feeling like you're always apologising or walking on eggshells. I understand how overwhelming that can be. It’s as though you’ve been running on empty for a while now, just craving a moment to breathe, to rest, to find some peace and balance in your life.
The good news is, you don’t have to go through this alone. Therapy can be a safe space to explore those feelings and start reclaiming that sense of calm you're looking for. Whether it's reflecting on what’s been going on, finding better ways to communicate your needs, or learning how to feel more at ease in your relationships, therapy can offer support that’s tailored to what you need.
If getting out in nature sounds like something that could help, walk-and-talk therapy at the Fairhaven Water Gardens might be a great fit. There's something about the fresh air and peaceful setting that can make it easier to talk through what’s on your mind. And if it feels more comfortable, we can always meet online or by phone—whatever suits you best.
It’s okay to want some time and space for yourself. You deserve that. If you feel ready to take that first step, I’m here to help. Reach out for a free consultation when you’re ready.

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.
