About me
I’m a psychotherapeutic counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, and at the heart of my work is a simple belief: therapy should feel human, supportive, and centred around you, not rigid or intimidating.
I’m trained as an integrative therapist, which basically means I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach (because people very rarely fit neatly into boxes). Instead, I draw on different ways of working and tailor our sessions to suit you and what you’re bringing. We can work short-term or longer-term, depending on what feels right.
I see the therapeutic relationship as something we build together. It’s a collaborative, evolving conversation where we both show up, think things through, and make sense of what’s going on, at your pace, in your time.
I work with a wide range of issues and have a particular interest in supporting people experiencing trauma and anxiety. Working with you as a whole person rather than through labels or categories. Together, we explore how you’ve come to understand yourself, your relationships, and the world around you, with curiosity, care, and compassion (and without trying to “fix” you - because you were never broken to start with).
Because the relationship between client and therapist really matters, it’s important that you feel comfortable with the person you choose to work with. I’m always happy to answer questions and help you decide whether I’m the right therapist for you before we begin.
Training, qualifications & experience
I began my professional journey at university, completing a BSc in Forensic Psychology followed by an MSc in Health Psychology. Alongside further training in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, I worked for the Ambulance Service as a 999 Emergency Call Operator, an experience that profoundly shaped how I understand distress, resilience, and the complexity of human experience.
I have now been working therapeutically with clients for over eight years. Across both my emergency service work and my counselling practice, I have supported people through moments of acute crisis, long-held emotional pain, and quieter periods of feeling lost or stuck. This combination has given me a deep respect for how people survive, adapt, and continue, often carrying far more than is visible on the surface.
I’ve witnessed humanity at its best and its most vulnerable, and I hold a strong belief that even when life feels overwhelming or broken, it is still possible to find steadiness, meaning, and hope. Everyone’s story is unique. I won’t pretend to fully know what you’ve been through, but I will meet you with genuine care, curiosity, and attention from the very beginning, and walk alongside you at a pace that feels right for you.
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.

Other areas of counselling I deal with
Psychotherapeutic counselling is a personal journey and so the therapeutic work will be tailored to your individual needs. This list is not exhaustive; anything can be discussed in counselling as that is what it is there for.
If you feel you are suffering with anything that I have not listed please don't hesitate to contact me using my contact information and I will endeavour to help you further.
