About me
Let's Begin Your Journey
Reaching out is a brave first step and I will strive to make it as easy as possible, providing help and guidance any way I can and I look forward to being part of your journey towards healing and growth.
Introductory Call
I offer a free no obligation 30-minute introductory phone call. This is a chance for you to share your story, ask any questions you may have, and see if we're a good fit to work together. You can book this call easily through my website (just click the "Visit Website" button above) and go to the "Appointments" page. You can also reach me by message, text or email.
There is a booking system via. Counselling Directory which works fine but this doesn't take into account appointments I already have. If you book through Counselling Directory and it clashes with another appointment I will contact you to find an alternative time as close to the chosen time as possible.
About me
I am a person-centred counsellor. This means I aim to focus my time and attention on you and what you want to talk about. I am passionate, and empathetic and believe that building a strong therapeutic relationship is key. As a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) I abide by their ethical framework and have experience in a range of issues.
How are you Feeling?
Life can be tough and it's not always easy to reach out for help. If you're facing overwhelming feelings - like sadness, anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, anger or just feeling lost or alone - you're not alone. I am here to provide a confidential, friendly and safe space for you. Together, we can explore and understand the emotions that are affecting your peace and work towards your personal goals, whether they are short-term or long-term.
What's Next?
If you're reading this, you're already taking a courageous step toward personal growth and healing. That is a significant achievement! I know that reaching out can be challenging, and I want to make this process as smooth and comfortable as possible for you.
Finding the right counsellor is crucial, and I'm here to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
I offer face-to-face sessions in a calm environment with free street parking, as well as telephone and video call sessions for your convenience. Each session lasts about 50 minutes and cost £50. I also offer concessionary discount for students, NHS workers, trainee counsellors, and benefit claimants who can provide proof with a student card, NHS ID or DWP letter.
If you'd like to learn more or book a session, don't hesitate to contact me anytime. If I'm unable to answer right away, I promise to get back to you as soon as possible.

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.
