About me
I am an MBACP Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with a commitment to relational, experiential, and embodied approaches to therapy. My work is grounded in the belief that healing and transformation arise through authentic connection; with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us. I bring warmth, sensitivity, and curiosity to the therapeutic relationship, offering a space where your inner world can be explored safely and with compassion.
Training, qualifications & experience
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in frontline mental health and social care services, supporting adults facing complex psychological and social challenges. These experiences continue to inform my work today, especially in holding an awareness of systemic issues around inequality, identity, and marginalisation.
My therapeutic orientation is grounded in Humanistic principles, drawing particularly on Gestalt therapy, Person-Centred theory, and Transactional Analysis. I also integrate somatic, transpersonal, and existential perspectives. That said, you don’t need to be familiar with any of this theory for us to work together. It’s completely natural to feel unsure about what to expect, especially if this is your first time in therapy. You won’t be expected to use psychological jargon or arrive with anything already figured out. What matters most is your willingness to show up as you are. My role is to meet you there, to listen closely, and to support you in exploring whatever feels important, at your pace, in your own words.
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.

Further information
Alongside my therapeutic training, I have a longstanding personal spiritual practice. I understand how spirituality can be a vital resource, offering meaning, resilience, and connection, and I welcome clients who wish to explore this aspect of their lives. At the same time, I work with many people for whom this is not relevant, and honour each person’s unique journey and beliefs.
I hope to offer therapy as a space to slow down, reconnect, and listen to yourself more deeply; whether you are navigating a crisis, seeking greater self-understanding, or longing for change. I look forward to meeting you.
