About me


I understand how anxiety shuts down people’s lives and the masks the person you are… it can ruin relationships, job prospects and general well-being.


I get how isolated, hopeless and misunderstood you might feel. You might be desperate to regain control over your life and find a sense of clarity. 


You might have landed here in search for a path towards freedom from the endless what if’s, negative future thinking and a general sense of dread. 


As a solution focused therapist with a foundation in the person-centred modality, I’m confident with my personal and professional 10 years experience that I can offer trust, hope and a commitment to finding a way forward with you to a changed mindset and a more connected way of being. 


I have a special interest in working with clients who have low self-esteem, relationship issues, grief, and anxiety. 


It’s important that you feel you can get on with your therapist and so to help you choose/have an idea of the way I work, I offer a free 20 minute introduction.

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.
