About me
I am a fully qualified Person-centred counsellor. I am friendly, approachable and empathic. My main aim is to build a therapeutic relationship with my clients through trust and rapport. This helps you find better ways to relate to yourself, process difficulties you may be facing or to bring about changes you may desire. Person-centred therapy is often highly effective for a client who wants to discuss, explore and understand. It can offer a safe, non-judgmental space to help find your own solutions. Clients often discover the great value of feeling heard and validated.
We all have our own unique stories and experiences. Even though common themes come up in the therapy sessions that may have affected many of us at some point in our lives, such as anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement, loneliness, relationship difficulties, divorce, work difficulties, low self-esteem, confidence, loss of identity, life transitions, each person experiences them in their unique way.
Alongside having experience with working with the above themes, I also have experience working with faith and spirituality and childhood sexual abuse.
Clients have fed back that they find me very easy to talk to and they left feeling listened to and heard. They have reported feeling 'lighter', and more 'hopeful' and have experienced positive changes in their lives.
I offer face-to-face and online therapy. I offer a free 20-minute consultation where we can discuss your needs.

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.
