About me
How can I help?
There are many reasons for considering counselling. Maybe you’re feeling lost or facing a personal crisis. Perhaps you’re struggling for purpose or meaning in your life? Or wanting to modify your behaviours or change destructive patterns. Therapy can support you as you explore your relationship with the world, helping you move from where you are now to where you want to be.
I work as a relational integrative therapist, using a range of psychological theories & techniques. Working this way I can understand your personal situation & needs better and tailor my therapeutic approach uniquely to you. I am passionate about personal growth, empowerment & self-compassion & the positive changes good therapy can bring to someone’s life.
I am warm, genuine & relationship driven and take an active role working alongside you. Building a strong and trusted relationship is key to us working collaboratively to explore the here and now, past relationships and desired changes for the future. Exploring your relationships and patterns of behaviour in this environment can lead to more fulfilling interactions and stronger connections, which lead to a happier and healthier life.
I’ve worked with adults from different backgrounds dealing with a wide range of issues and my practice is inclusive and welcoming to all. My aim as your counsellor, is to be compassionate, respectful and genuine; endeavouring to create the therapeutic conditions for you to achieve your goals for therapy.
Your relationship with your therapist will be unlike any other and it is important to spend time finding someone you feel comfortable with. I offer a free 20-minute telephone conversation to give you the opportunity to decide whether I am the right counsellor for you.
I offer both individual and couples counselling.

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.
