About me
WELL DONE YOU! It takes faith, and great courage, to ask for help, you do not have to face the problem alone.
We’re all experiencing this thing called LIFE together and as you know, it isn’t always an enjoyable ride. Sometimes, we just need someone to show us some compassion, kindness and just to be heard.
Therapy is about you, it’s a time to sit and reflect in a safe and comforting environment on the things that are causing you stress, anxiety or depression.
In life, it’s not hard to get stuck in a rut. Sometimes we lose our way and our focus. We struggle to stay on a path, feeling like you’ve lost sight of the person you want to be. I’m here to say it’s okay.
“You may not be there yet, but you’re closer than you were yesterday.”
Many of us go through a phase in life where we feel lost, aimless, confused and alone. This could be from losing a parent, loved one or friend. Even losing a pet no matter how big or small. These can be a truly traumatic experiences and create a large void in our hearts and lives.
Maybe you’re buying into other people’s ideas of what you are supposed to be or should be doing rather than what you want to be doing.
Or maybe you are not living your own life because of someone else’s expectation.
No matter what your reasons are, it can be undone.
You have the power to get out of this lost state and create a life you love.
Although it might be easier said than done, you can regain your focus and access your confidence. You can find yourself by reconnecting with what you love and taking action on it, going on an adventure so you can see and experience the world with fresh eyes, and challenging yourself to get out of your comfort zone.
Besides, there are signs all around us that can inspire you to move forward on your path.
“Some beautiful paths can’t be discovered without getting lost.”
That’s why I am here, to help and provide the insight you need to move ahead. I am a very down to earth person who will make your journey with me as comfortable as possible. Together we will explore a way forward to help you feel more empowered to live a life that you want to live.
I feel being let into someone’s life is a real privilege.

Member organisations
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
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.
