About me
I am a fully qualified Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor and Psychotherapist, and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I have gained valuable experience through two years of volunteering with two charitable agencies, providing counselling services to individuals from a range of backgrounds. I offer both face-to-face and online therapy, ensuring that support is accessible and flexible to suit each client’s circumstances.
My professional background spans over 10 years within the mental health sector, including work in a secure adult forensics ward and within NHS Doctors’ surgeries. This experience gave me insight into the growing demand for mental health services and guided my decision to train as a therapist. During my time as a Senior Team Leader in an NHS Doctors’ surgery, I witnessed first-hand the need for accessible support, which led me to undertake over four years of study to qualify as an Integrative Counsellor.
Areas of Experience
I have experience working with a broad range of presenting issues, including:
• Depression
• Anxiety and stress
• Low self-worth and self-esteem
• Relationship and communication difficulties
• Infidelity, separation, and divorce
• Grief, loss, and resentment
• Overwhelm and burnout
• Historic abuse
Additionally, I have worked with clients with learning difficulties, speech impediments, and ADHD. My therapeutic work is inclusive and adaptable, ensuring that support is tailored to meet the individual needs of each client.
Therapeutic Approach
As an Integrative Therapist, I draw upon different therapeutic models to offer a flexible, client-centred approach. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate space where clients can explore their experiences at their own pace. My focus is on working collaboratively to support emotional wellbeing, personal growth, and meaningful change.

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.
