BA (Hons) MBACP Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Supervisor

About me

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed by a sense of sadness that’s hard to explain? Do you feel lost, unsure of why you’re struggling, but deeply wishing to be heard without judgment—to feel safe, supported, and able to connect with your emotions at your own pace?

I can offer you that space.

Through gentle and compassionate exploration, we can begin to understand your inner world—your thoughts, emotions, defences, and patterns. With greater self-awareness, you can begin to make conscious choices, experiment with new ways of being, and create meaningful change in your life.

I can help you reconnect with yourself, identify your triggers, understand the roots of your anxiety or low mood, and support you on a journey toward a more grounded, fulfilling sense of self.

As a person-centred counsellor, I work in a fully client-led way. I offer sessions in a format that suits you: face-to-face, online, telephone, or walking and talking therapy.

Walking and talking therapy can be especially helpful for those who find the traditional therapy room setting intense or restrictive. Side-by-side in nature, conversations can feel more relaxed and open, allowing for deeper emotional exploration. Being outdoors also offers added benefits such as reduced stress and anxiety, improved mood, increased confidence, and enhanced wellbeing.

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
