About me
As a qualified therapeutic counsellor, I am deeply committed to fostering compassion, empathy, and inclusivity in my practice. My personal journey—including lived experiences with disability, mental health challenges, and navigating societal perceptions of difference—has profoundly shaped my approach. As a wheelchair user, I bring a unique perspective to counselling, grounded in respect for diversity, equality, and the acceptance of all identities.
I work as an integrative counsellor, drawing on Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Transactional Analysis (TA) to tailor support to your individual needs. Whether you're seeking self-exploration, coping strategies, or deeper relational insights, my approach is flexible and responsive to where you are in your journey. I believe that no matter your starting point, there is always potential for growth, healing, and empowerment.
My background in sociology, gender studies, and Women’s Studies informs an intersectional lens in my practice. This means I consider how factors like gender, disability, class, and societal pressures shape your experiences. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore challenges, reframe unhelpful patterns, and cultivate resilience.
I welcome men, women, trans, and non-binary individuals, and I am passionate about supporting those who feel marginalised or misunderstood. Together, we’ll work towards greater self-awareness, emotional clarity, and the confidence to move forward with strength.
If you’re seeking a counsellor who values authenticity, lived experience, and collaborative growth, I invite you to reach out and drop me a line via email or give me a call.

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.
