About me
A Warm Welcome
Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may be feeling anxious, low in confidence, stuck, struggling in relationships, or simply finding it hard to cope with everything going on. Counselling offers a space where you can pause, talk things through, and feel genuinely heard.
How I can help
I work with adults facing a range of emotional and life challenges, including anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, bereavement, workplace issues and life transitions.
Some people come to counselling with a clear sense of what is wrong, while others simply feel overwhelmed or “not themselves” and are unsure why. Both are welcome.
ADHD and Neurodivergence
I have a particular interest in supporting adults who are exploring whether ADHD may be part of their experience, as well as those who have a diagnosis.
You may feel overwhelmed by everyday tasks, struggle with focus or organisation, experience emotional intensity, or notice long-standing patterns of self-criticism or feeling “different” from others. Counselling can help you explore these experiences with more understanding and self-compassion, and support you in finding ways of working that feel more manageable and authentic for you.
What Counselling With Me Is Like
I believe the relationship between us is the most important part of counselling. I work in a way that is warm, collaborative and tailored to you. You will have space to talk openly and at your own pace, without judgement, and we can explore whatever feels most important for you.
Taking the First Step
I offer a free 20-minute consultation so you can ask questions and get a sense of whether working together feels right for you.

Member organisations
school 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 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.
