About me
Welcome — I'm glad you're here.
With a background spanning education, mental health, and sport — including nearly seven years in an integrated role within an NHS mental health team — I bring a broad and compassionate perspective to my counselling work. No two people are alike, and your way of processing the world is uniquely yours — I honour that in everything we do.
I have also completed additional couples qualifications and utilise a solution focused based approach to help couples build understanding , communication and positive change .
For individual therapy I offer a warm space to explore difficult or painful experiences, particularly around family dynamics and emotionally complex relationships. If you're navigating the emotional impact of divorce or adjusting to a new chapter in your life, you're not alone — we can work together to help you find solid ground again.
I offer a specialist service for those in the equestrian world. As someone who has competed at Badminton Grassroots, BE, BS and BD, I understand the immense joy — and pressure — of the sport. Whether you're battling nerves ahead of competition day, looking to regain confidence after a setback, or just want to rediscover your love for the sport, I’m here to listen with empathy .
As a mature woman, I also understand how life transitions can impact our world — for example the menopause ,which can shake confidence and sense of identity, especially in performance settings. You may have the ambition and the talent, but nerves, self-doubt or old narratives are getting in your way. Let’s work together to shift that — so you can show up fully, whether in the saddle or in life.
If any of this resonates with you, I’d love to have a conversation. Reach out — your story is worth being heard, and it’s never too late to begin untangling the threads.

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.
