About me
I am a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor with a relational approach. I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace.
I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful change. My approach is collaborative and relational, creating space for greater self-awareness, understanding and connection with yourself. Together, we can explore the experiences, patterns and emotions that may be affecting your wellbeing.
I offer counselling for adults online, supporting a range of emotional and relational difficulties. My aim is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, accepted and able to be yourself.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified Humanistic Integrative Counsellor, holding a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and Registered Membership with the BACP (MBACP).
I have several years’ experience working within crisis mental health services, supporting adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional distress, suicidal thoughts and complex life challenges. This has developed my ability to provide calm, compassionate support during difficult periods.
My practice is informed by Relational Counselling, Peer-Supported Open Dialogue and systemic approaches. I have completed foundation training in Family Therapy (AFT) and Peer-Supported Open Dialogue (APOD). I am currently undertaking a Level 5 Diploma in Relational Counselling with Relate, developing my skills in couples and relationship counselling.
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).

What to expect:
Starting counselling can feel daunting, so I aim to make the process as simple and comfortable as possible.
We begin with a free introductory call, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, share what has brought you to counselling and decide whether I feel like the right counsellor for you.
If we decide to work together, we will begin building our therapeutic relationship and explore what feels important to you. We will work collaboratively, agreeing the focus of our sessions and reviewing our work together as we progress.
You do not need to know exactly what you want to talk about before starting. Counselling is a space where we can explore your experiences together, at a pace that feels right for you.
