About me
Counselling can be a transformative experience for anyone seeking to improve their mental and emotional wellbeing. It provides a safe and supportive space where you are able to explore what is going on for you without judgment. Counselling can help you to develop a greater understanding of yourself, as well as your relationships and life experiences. This process can lead to greater self-awareness and personal growth.
The challenges we face 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. Sometimes, we simply need to talk through our thoughts with someone who is impartial and objective. In such times, the counselling space can be incredibly beneficial.
I practice integrative counselling, meaning that I draw from various therapeutic models to tailor my approach to your needs. At the heart of my practice is the Person-Centred Approach, placing you at the core of the therapeutic process. This ensures that our work together is guided by you and what you would like to talk through during our sessions.
It is helpful to approach counselling with an open mind and a willingness to engage in the process, even if you’re unsure where to start. Remember, there is no pressure to have everything figured out; our sessions are dedicated to supporting you in your journey toward understanding and healing.

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).
