About me
Hello
If you’ve found your way here, I’m guessing you’re facing a difficulty in your life and are exploring whether therapy might help. I hope I can give you a sense of how I work and whether I might be the right fit for you.
How I Work
I work from a person-centred perspective*, which means I see you as the expert on your own life. And my role is to offer sessions where we can explore what’s going on for you – in your own time and way.
Whether you come with something specific in mind or aren’t sure where to start, we’ll look to work together to find the right path.
As a person-centred therapist, I see our sessions as a shared process. Sometimes I might notice something and share it with you — a pattern, a feeling, or a shift in our conversation — and we’ll see together if it feels meaningful or not. Other times, you might do the same, so we’ll follow what feels important.
I will also look to notice how we’re being with each other in the session, because sometimes how you respond to me might mirror how you experience other people in your life, or how you imagine others experiencing you. There may also be moments in which we misunderstand each other, and part of person-centred therapy is exploring these natural moments of two people trying to communicate.
My intention is to create a space where you feel supported to explore and make sense of things at your own pace — with someone who’s here to listen, stay curious, and treat the work with the care and importance it deserves.
*If you haven’t explored the different kinds of therapy out there, I’d encourage you to read a short summary of the main types. It can help you choose an approach that feels like the right fit for you.
The Sessions
Some people come for a short time to work through something specific; others stay longer to explore more, it’s up to you.
I try to check in regularly to see how things are going — what’s feeling helpful, what’s not, and whether anything needs to change in how we’re working together.
Sessions are held online or by phone. Each one lasts 60 minutes, with a few minutes at the start and end to settle in and wrap up.
Training, qualifications & experience
Before becoming a therapist, I spent five years working in homelessness services, mostly with young adults. This involved supporting people facing complex, overlapping challenges — trauma, substance use, mental health difficulties, anger, domestic violence, money problems, depression and isolation. These experiences helped me understand how different everyone’s lives are, and it led me to explore becoming a therapist; I wanted to be able to just focus on how the struggles someone is having in how they experience life.
I'm recently qualified, with around two years of counselling experience. I’ve worked with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression, big life changes, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, caring responsibilities, trauma, loss, and more.
I have worked with a bereavement service and a charity supporting carers, both of which I enjoyed.
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.
