About me
Hello, I offer counselling and psychotherapy for adults and adolescents. I support parents in the perinatal stage and beyond, and more generally those wanting support with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, stress and relationship difficulties. I am also a qualified clinical supervisor and teach counselling to level 6.
At the heart of my practice is a recognition of the importance of you feeling understood, safe and accepted. People often come because things are very hard or feel overwhelming; it might be difficult to cope and challenging to know the way forward. Life changes, past experiences, loss and trauma can have a devastating impact and benefit from specialist support. I offer empathic therapy, understanding and care, to ensure your needs are met, and your aims supported.
My qualifications include a Level 7 Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy, a Level 6 Transactional Analysis Counselling Diploma, a Level 6 Adolescent Counselling Diploma and I am trained to work with trauma. I draw on a number of ways of working to ensure your needs are most helpfully supported. Overall, I aim to offer compassionate interventions and therapy respectful of who you are, your history, journey and choices.
I work online on weekdays. Drop me an email and we can arrange a time to have a chat either on the phone, or on zoom and see if we might be a good fit to work together.

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.
