About me
I am a qualified therapist with 12 year’s experience. I have worked with a broad and diverse range of clients, supporting them through many different issues and of all ages. I’m particularly experienced in working with addictions, emotional trauma, deep rooted trauma, inner-child work, anxiety, depression, childhood issues, managing emotions and self-worth.
I work to provide a safe and contained space for you to feel as comfortable as possible, to be able explore to the depths that you choose, what brought you to counselling, which I think is a crucial part of the counselling journey; to feel comfortable enough. Each person's journey is very personal and unique. Counselling can feel daunting, scary and a brave thing venturing into the unknown. I aim to help you develop a better and deeper understanding of yourself. Exploring your issues/concerns and ways that you can work through them and working on you feeling more grounded and focused through the therapy process.
I will help you recognise your learned behaviours, patterns of relating, your coping mechanisms, your triggers and how these things may have played out and impacted on you, your life and your relationships and then work on what you choose to change.
I believe in autonomy and empowering people, to feel able to make better decisions, feeling more secure in oneself and capable. I’m honest and will only work within my capabilities.
I offer face to face and online sessions.

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.
