About me
I have always been deeply interested in people's stories and the experiences that shape who they are. At the heart of my work is a simple belief: when we feel listened to with care and curiosity, things can begin to make more sense.
Counselling with me can help when something doesn't feel quite right anymore. Or you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or quietly stuck. Perhaps you notice yourself reacting more strongly than you would like, being very hard on yourself, or getting fed up of the same patterns appearing in your relationships or in how you feel about yourself.
These experiences can feel confusing, especially when you can't quite understand where they come from. Often the patterns we struggle with today have deeper emotional roots, shaped by earlier experiences and the ways we learned to cope at the time.
I offer the chance to slow things down and gently explore what may be happening beneath the surface. Together we can begin to notice patterns, make sense of difficult feelings, and understand how past experiences may still be influencing things today.
Clients often tell me that having a space where they feel truly heard helps them begin to see things more clearly. Over time many people find they feel calmer in their emotions, kinder towards themselves, and less caught in repeating patterns.
Alongside working with adults, I also support young people aged 13+ who may be struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm or the challenges of growing up.
My approach is warm, friendly, thoughtful and gently challenging. I aim to offer a safe and supportive space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace.
If you feel this might be the right space for you, you are very welcome to get in touch.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified counsellor having completed a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I also am certified to deliver counselling online and via the telephone.
I have volunteered as a counsellor for adults and young people (11+). And I have also worked in a support role for young people and their families for 17 years which has involved using a lot of my counselling skills.
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.
