About me
I am a person-centred, integrative counsellor with extensive frontline experience working with neurodivergent young people—particularly secondary school–aged children with autism or ADHD—and with parents who are themselves neurodivergent or supporting a neurodiverse child.
I understand the impact that anxiety, bullying, and overwhelm can have on emotional wellbeing, self-esteem, and family life. My approach provides a safe, calm space where you or your child can explore these experiences, develop practical coping strategies, and build confidence and resilience.
In our first session, my priority is to listen and understand your individual circumstances so we can create a therapeutic plan that truly fits your goals and needs.
Alongside counselling, I also offer life coaching as a structured, goal-oriented option for clients who wish to focus on achieving personal or practical targets with guided support.
My aim is to offer compassionate, flexible support that helps reduce anxiety and strengthens self-understanding.

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.
