About me
Have you found yourself isolating, and your social life has come to a standstill? Maybe your confidence is at an all-time low and your self-belief has left you, or maybe you feel overwhelmed by daily life and are finding it hard to manage basic tasks.
Has your confidence been holding you back, or maybe it's left you feeling anxious, and so you’ve isolated yourself and stopped living your life? Are you feeling lonely and not really sure what to do? Do you feel that if you reach out to friends, they won't understand?
Does this sound like you? Hi, I'm Dee and I’ve been there too. If you’re ready to reconnect with people, stop people pleasing, and start understanding your anxiety, I’m here for you. Contact me now and let’s take that first step together.
You may be going through a major loss or life change, and it’s left your confidence even more shaken. Whatever you're facing, I want you to know you're not alone.
I am an Integrative Relational Counsellor — which is really just a fancy way of saying that I’ll work with you in a way that best suits you. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here; I tailor our sessions to meet your individual needs.
I understand that it can feel difficult to take that first step but I am here for you and will listen. Why not book an introductory call with me and we can have a chat and see how I can help.

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.

I understand that waiting for a response can sometimes create some anxiety, so I will always aim to answer any enquires within 24 hours. I have some flexibility for remote sessions.
Further information
In my practice, I tailor our work to meet your unique needs, drawing on a range of approaches, including person-centred, Gestalt, humanistic, and psychodynamic theories, among others. Our sessions may involve exploring your daily experiences, understanding how past events have shaped who you are today, or experimenting with new ways of thinking and relating to yourself and others. My aim is to create a supportive and collaborative space where we can work together to help you grow and thrive.
