About me
Starting counselling can feel like a big step, especially if you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can feel safe, heard, and accepted. I work with adults, teenagers (aged 16+), and couples. I have an additional CPCAB diploma in couples and relationship therapy. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, feeling overwhelmed, navigating relationship difficulties, or going through a big life change, we can explore it together. My approach is warm, caring, and down-to-earth. Each person has unique needs, and my sessions reflect that.
I have specialist training in loss and bereavement, and understand how many forms loss can take. It might be the death of someone close, the loss of a much-loved pet, a relationship ending, health issues, retirement, identity, or a sense of something missing. Grief can be complicated, unexpected, and overwhelming. Together we can make sense of how you feel.
Couples Counselling
I have an additional CPCAB L5 Diploma in Couples and Relationship Therapy. Relationships can be both deeply fulfilling and incredibly challenging. When communication breaks down, connection suffers, and both partners can feel unheard, misunderstood, or stuck in cycles of blame and frustration. When working with couples, I use several techniques, including Imago Relationship Therapy, a powerful and structured approach that helps partners move beyond conflict and rediscover connection. Whether you are looking to repair and improve your relationship, or considering a separation, couples counselling can help you navigate this.
Whatever has brought you here, you will be supported as you explore what's going on for you, with empathy and kindness. If you'd like to know more, please visit my website, or feel free to contact me via email or leave a telephone message. I will respond as soon as possible, and within 24 hours. When you're ready, I’ll be happy to hear from you.
Please note, I always reply to all messages, so if you do not hear from me, please check your junk or spam mail!

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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
Working 'integratively', we will look at your life's experiences, as well as what's happening now, to work out what is behind your feelings. You'll have a safe, non-judgmental space where you can say whatever you need, however difficult, and be supported by me as you find ways to make the changes you want.
