About me
Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting, especially when you’re already feeling overwhelmed. You don’t have to work through life’s challenges alone. I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted, without pressure to have everything figured out.
As an experienced integrative counsellor and registered MBACP member, I recognise that everyone’s experiences are different. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and tailor our work to you, your needs and what feels right for you.
You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, bereavement, relationship difficulties, or simply feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure of where to turn. Whatever has brought you to counselling, we can take the time to explore what you’re going through, develop a deeper understanding of yourself and find ways to move forward.
For me, the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of effective counselling. Creating a space where you feel safe enough to be open and truly yourself is important to my practice. I’ll listen without judgement, work at your pace and support you in exploring difficult thoughts, feelings and experiences with compassion and curiosity.
Counselling isn’t about telling you what to do. It’s about creating the space to understand yourself, recognise what you need and discover your own way forward. My aim is to support you in developing greater self-awareness, confidence and resilience, while finding practical and meaningful ways to navigate life’s challenges.
Your privacy, confidentiality and wellbeing are central to my practice. I offer a secure and welcoming environment where you can talk openly and honestly, knowing that you will be treated with respect and compassion.
If you’re considering counselling, you’ve already taken an important first step. I’d be honoured to support you as you begin to explore what’s going on and work towards greater clarity, emotional wellbeing and positive change.

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.
