About me
I am an Integrative-Relational Counsellor, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches so that the way we work together is tailored to your individual needs. As a relational therapist, I believe the connection between therapist and client is central to the success of our work together.
Counselling offers a space to focus on yourself and create the possibility for change. Choosing therapy is a leap of faith—one that can foster growth, resilience, and self-understanding. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and finding your way through these challenges is not always easy. Together, we can bring you into focus and gently explore what may be getting in the way of your well-being.
Our work will begin with what feels most important for you right now and may gradually uncover deeper patterns beneath the surface. Throughout this process, I will walk alongside you—providing a safe, supportive, and compassionate space where you feel truly heard and understood. Change can feel daunting, but therapy can help you make sense of your journey so far and develop a stronger sense of self to guide you forward. My hope is to support you in cultivating greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-care. I work authentically and with warmth, offering a trusting ear as we navigate this process together.
I offer both in-person and online therapy.
To help you get a sense of how I work, I provide a free 15-minute phone consultation. This gives us an opportunity to talk through what brings you to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and see whether I feel like the right fit for you. Taking this first step can be the beginning of a meaningful and supportive therapeutic relationship.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a BA (Hons) in Integrative-Relational Counselling, with additional qualifications in counselling skills (Levels 2 & 3), and I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am also a Qualified Teacher (QTS) with a BA (Hons) in Early Years: Teaching, bringing over 20 years of experience supporting children, families, and emotional well-being.
I work one-to-one with adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, bereavement, ADHD, autism, family and relationship challenges, dissociation, self-harm, and issues around sexuality and identity. My approach is warm and compassionate, offering a safe space to explore your experiences and supporting you in building resilience, self-acceptance, and emotional well-being.
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.

When I work
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 your unique needs, drawing on a range of approaches including person-centred, Gestalt, humanistic, and psychodynamic theories. Together, we may explore your day-to-day experiences, understand how past events have shaped you, and experiment with new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to yourself and others. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative, and supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow and thrive.
