About me
Counselling with me
I believe in the healing and transformative power of counselling and want to provide a sanctuary for any who might benefit from it. I frequently work with depression, anxiety, stress and other common mental health issues, as well as empowering people to learn more about themselves. I can help with relationship difficulties, bullying, anger management, loneliness and abuse.
I have experience in exploring topics of identity, including but not limited to self-esteem, self-image, spirituality and faith, sexuality and gender. Through my work with young people and my own experiences, I can also help with issues of particular relevance to today's world, including responses to social media and gaming. Please see the list of bullet points below for more areas I work in, or get in touch if you have any questions.
You are the expert. My role as counsellor is to help light the way as we help you to connect with the best version of yourself.
How I work
I believe in shaping counselling relationships unique to each client and their needs. Every person is unique, and only by acknowledging our differences can we truly bring our vision of others into sharp focus.
I work to a high professional standard but believe therapy needn't be intimidating. Learning more about ourselves and making positive steps can be rewarding and I aim to make counselling something to be proud of.
My approach
As an integrative counsellor I work with several approaches to create a counselling experience suited to my clients and their needs. This includes both a person-centred approach, looking at where you stand in the here and now, as well as a psychodynamic approach, exploring your history and relationships to discover your unconscious.
By being seen and heard in a safe environment, we can open the door for you to embrace your inner self and to show it to the world.

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.
