About me
Reaching out for support can feel daunting. I know this not only as a therapist, but also from personal experience.
Many years ago, I found myself sitting in a counsellor's room for the first time. At that time, therapy was rarely talked about openly and I felt anxious about seeking help. Life felt overwhelming and I was carrying concerns about my wellbeing, my relationships, the pressures of work, and what the future might hold.
What I found was a space where I could speak freely, without judgement. A space where I felt heard, understood, and supported. I may not remember every conversation, but I remember the sense of relief that came from no longer carrying everything on my own.
That experience stayed with me and ultimately led me to train as a counsellor myself.
Today, I offer a warm, confidential, and supportive environment where you can explore whatever is troubling you. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, loss, life changes, or simply feeling stuck, counselling can provide an opportunity to better understand yourself and find new ways forward.
I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and change. Sometimes we simply need the right space and support to access it.
My role is not to tell you what to do, but to work alongside you, helping you make sense of your experiences, recognise your strengths, and develop greater confidence in yourself and your choices.
Seeking help is not a sign of weakness. It is often the first step towards living with greater clarity, resilience, and self-acceptance.
If you feel that I may be the right therapist for you, I would be pleased to hear from you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a level 4 diploma in Integrative Counselling with a Person Centred approach which comes very naturally to me. A couple of years ago I followed this up with a level 6 diploma in Counselling Supervision.
I am a registered member of the BACP. I am trained in and have many hours experience of working online and over the telephone as well as of course, working face to face.
I have worked with people of all ages and my role at a local college often means working with younger people who are seeking a truly non-judgemental ear.
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.
