About me
What about you? You describe yourself as a ‘people pleaser’, but have you forgotten you're a person who needs pleasing too? Maybe you’re feeling stretched thin, stuck in a pattern of putting others' needs ahead of your own, even when it's draining. You might find yourself saying “yes” to things you don’t really want to do, struggling to say “no”, and then second-guessing yourself. That loop of replaying conversations, wondering what you should’ve said or 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 constantly apologising or walking on eggshells. I get how tough that can be. It’s like you’ve been running on empty for a while, just craving a moment to breathe, to rest, and to feel some peace and balance.
It doesn’t have to stay this way: you don’t have to figure all of this out by yourself. Therapy can offer a space to explore what’s been going on and begin reclaiming the calm you're looking for. Whether it’s reflecting on your experiences, finding better ways to express your needs, or feeling more at ease in your relationships, therapy can support you in a way that’s tailored to you.
If being outdoors sounds helpful, walk-and-talk therapy at Fairhaven Water Gardens could be a great fit. There's something about fresh air and a peaceful setting that can make it easier to talk things through. And if that’s not your thing, we can always meet online or by phone, whatever works best for you.
It’s okay to want time and space for yourself. If you feel ready to take the 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.
