About me
Therapy offers a trusted and emotionally attuned relationship that supports healing, growth, and meaningful change.
As a Person-Centred Counsellor with a PhD in Psychology, I offer a warm, open, and evidence-based approach to therapy. The demands of work, relationships, family or personal goals can feel overwhelming, leading to stress, anxiety, low mood, or a sense of being ‘stuck.’ Together, we will navigate these challenges, deepening your self-awareness, and taking meaningful steps towards your goals.
I am committed to building a trusted connection where you feel able to work through difficult emotions and explore life’s challenges at depth. This process can help you to find greater meaning and purpose, strengthen your self-worth, and build more fulfilling relationships in all areas of your life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I work with a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, and loss. Additionally, I have specific expertise in navigating work and career-related challenges, from early career planning to career transitions, leadership and retirement.
Whatever brings you to therapy, you can expect a safe, confidential, and compassionate space where we can explore your concerns, personal history, and goals for the future together.
For parents or guardians: I currently provide support to young people aged 16+. I have extensive experience working with young people managing academic and social pressures, while helping them develop their strengths and find direction toward realising their potential.

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.

Additional information
Prior to working together, I offer a free 15-minute initial telephone conversation. This is a confidential conversation to understand what has brought you to counselling and how I might be able to help you. This is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions and find out if I am the right counsellor for you.
Further information
I offer 50-minute therapy sessions, either online or in person, at my practice in Newbury town centre. My in-person sessions take place at St Mary’s House on London Road, a refurbished Georgian building just a 15-minute walk from Newbury railway station. Free parking is available. Online sessions offer flexibility, with the option to schedule regular appointments or adjust timings to fit your needs.
