About me
People often come to me when life feels overwhelming, confusing, or emotionally heavy. My work is steady, calm, and grounded in respect. I offer a space where you can slow down, think clearly, and speak openly about what’s happening without pressure or judgement.
I have extensive experience supporting people through anxiety, stress, trauma, abuse, and relationship difficulties. I also work with clients who feel hopeless, stuck, or are struggling with suicidal thoughts. These situations can require care, clarity, and a thoughtful presence by the counsellor. This is how I work.
My approach is collaborative and centred on helping you understand yourself more deeply. I will help you explore your own patterns, needs, and experiences so you can make choices that feel authentic and sustainable.
Clients often describe me as calm, easy to talk to, and able to hold difficult conversations without rushing them. I value honesty, steadiness, and the kind of therapeutic relationship where you can bring the full truth of your experience — even the parts that feel complicated or hard to articulate.
If you’re looking for a counsellor who is grounded, thoughtful, and able to sit with both the painful and the complex, I would be glad to meet you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have over ten years of professional counselling experience in community, university, and private practice settings. I’ve supported people across a wide range of ages, including those navigating early adulthood, major life transitions, trauma, abuse, sexual violence, relationship strain, long‑term pressure, and suicidal distress. I also have experience working with clients adjusting to new cultural environments and complex relational dynamics, including narcissistic patterns.
I offer both short‑term and longer‑term therapy, and I work online, in person, and by telephone with clients across the UK and internationally. My therapeutic approach is person‑centred, trauma‑informed, and relational, shaped by years of collaborative work with people facing emotionally difficult and complex situations.
I am a qualified clinical supervisor, supporting counsellors and trainees in their professional development. I maintain a strong commitment to ongoing learning, regularly developing my practice through CPD and personal study in areas such as trauma, sexual violence, relational dynamics, and suicide intervention.
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.
