About me

Are you feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or unsure why you're struggling?

Perhaps you've reached a point where simply getting through each day feels exhausting. You may find yourself overthinking everything, struggling to switch off, or feeling emotionally drained without fully understanding why. Maybe you've spent years putting everyone else's needs before your own, leaving you feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure who you are anymore.

It may be that something has happened recently, or perhaps experiences from the past continue to affect how you think, feel, and relate to others. You might notice patterns in your relationships, feel constantly on edge, battle low self-esteem, or carry a sense that you're never quite good enough. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.

I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can slow down, feel truly heard, and begin to make sense of your experiences at your own pace. Together we can explore what's beneath the surface, helping you understand yourself with greater compassion and discover a way forward that feels right for you.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

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.
