About me

I provide compassionate, non-directive Person-Centred Counselling and EMDR therapy in a safe, supportive space where you can feel truly heard. My approach empowers you to explore your emotions, process past experiences, and move forward at your own pace.

Life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming - whether it’s anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, trauma, or difficult transitions. Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and begin to make sense of what you’re going through.

With Person-Centred Counselling, you remain the expert of your own life. My role is to offer empathy, presence, and acceptance, creating a non-judgemental environment where you can uncover your own insights and strengths.

Alongside this, I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) - a proven therapy for trauma, but also highly effective for anxiety, phobias, and feelings of being “stuck.” EMDR works with the brain’s natural processes to release painful memories and restore balance.

You don’t have to face things alone - let’s take the first step toward healing, together.

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
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Key details

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
