About me
I am a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and EMDR therapist offering in-person sessions in King's Lynn, Norfolk, and online therapy. I provide a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and supported as we explore whatever has brought you to counselling.
I work with people experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm and challenging life experiences. You may be struggling with something happening in your life right now, finding that past experiences continue to affect you, or noticing patterns in your thoughts, feelings or relationships that you'd like to better understand.
My approach is grounded in Person-Centred Counselling, which places you at the heart of the therapeutic process. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and experiences, and my role isn't to tell you what to do or how you should feel.
Instead, I offer empathy, genuine understanding and acceptance, creating a supportive therapeutic relationship where you can explore your thoughts and emotions openly, without judgement or pressure. Together, we can work towards greater self-understanding, helping you recognise your own needs, strengths and the changes that feel right for you.
Alongside Person-Centred Counselling, I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), an evidence-based therapy particularly recognised for treating trauma and PTSD.
Sometimes difficult or distressing experiences from the past can continue to influence how we think, feel and respond in the present. EMDR can help process these experiences, reducing the emotional distress associated with them. It may also be appropriate for certain other difficulties, including anxiety and phobias, depending on your individual circumstances.
Where helpful, I can integrate EMDR with my Person-Centred approach, allowing us to work in a way that is tailored to your needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all process.
I understand that reaching out for counselling isn't always easy, particularly if you're unsure where to begin or find it difficult to put what you're experiencing into words.
You don't need to have everything figured out before your first appointment, and there is no expectation to share more than you're comfortable with. We can take the time to explore what you need and work together at a pace that feels right for you.
Whether you're looking for support with a particular difficulty, hoping to process past experiences or simply wanting to understand yourself better, I aim to provide a space where you feel comfortable being yourself.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a registered person-centred counsellor with a Post-Graduate Diploma in Counselling from The Norwich Centre and certified training in EMDR therapy. I came to counselling after many years of personal and professional growth, rooted in the belief that each of us has an innate capacity for self-awareness, healing, and change. I bring a rich life experience to my practice, informed by decades in the business world and a lifelong journey of self-discovery and personal therapy. This combination of professional training and lived experience enables me to offer a supportive, empathetic space where clients feel truly heard and empowered to create 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.
