About me
Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, painful memories, or just feeling stuck, we can take time to explore what’s going on together at your pace. I offer sessions online or in-person, where you can bring whatever is feeling difficult or overwhelming.
Any of us can encounter challenges that are hard to navigate. These might stem from our own vulnerabilities, a painful or confusing relationship, or the illness or loss of a loved one. Anger or depression may grip us, or we might find ourselves overwhelmed by anxiety and stress. Making space to explore what’s been affecting your mood, your relationships, and your day-to-day life can help you feel more connected with yourself and with the people who matter to you.
I work integratively, meaning I draw from various therapeutic approaches and tailor the work to you, with Person-Centred Therapy at the heart of how I work.
If you’re considering counselling, I'd be glad to hear from you. You’re welcome to get in touch to arrange a session or a free 10-15 minute introductory call to see how we might 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.

Further information
Our first session can focus on creating an understanding as to what you would like to gain from counselling, and how we can work together to create a space that feels right for you. I’ll invite you to share what’s brought you here, but there’s no pressure to open up more than you feel comfortable with.
This session is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions and get a feel for whether my approach aligns with what you’re looking for. Most importantly, it’s about ensuring you feel heard, understood and at ease in our initial session together.
