About me
So many of us experience times in life that really test us. Family issues, anxiety, low self-esteem, confusion linking with ADHD and depression. Finding the right support to help you to navigate this pathway, can feel both daunting and confusing.
My approach to therapy is ensuring that the client remains central to the process. If you want to chat about work, school or life in general, past, present or future goals counselling can truly help.
I have a particular interest in loss, grief, trauma and anxiety related experiences. My backdrop stems not only from private practice but also includes work experience within a secondary school and local hospice setting. These experiences have informed me that grief is not isolated to the death of a loved one, but also makes its presence felt in other areas of our world. Times such as the ending of a relationship, a life transition, a move, children entering our lives and then moving onwards. Grief can also cover loss of identity and direction.
The first session offers a sense of both the safety of the environment and my approach. I look forward to welcoming your enquiry.
I work from a central location. Queens House has a fresh, professional and engaging atmosphere.

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.
