About me
Whether you're feeling low, anxious, overwhelmed, or simply want some space to talk through any issues, together we can explore what you would like at your own pace. I offer a calm, confidential space where you can talk things through openly. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out - just a chance to take a step back and focus on yourself.
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, just talking through our thoughts with someone who is impartial and objective can take a huge weight off our shoulders.
I use an integrative approach, 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 means our work together is led by your needs, at your pace, and centred around what feels most important to you. I believe in building a strong, trusting relationship where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported throughout your journey.
If you're thinking about starting counselling, it would be good to hear from 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.
