About me

I believe that everyone is unique, and therapy should be tailored to fit your individual needs—there's no "one size fits all." My focus is on understanding what it’s like to be you—what you're going through, what questions are on your mind, and where you're at. This helps me support you in working through whatever’s causing you stress or discomfort. Therapy isn’t about fixing things, but about exploring the experiences and challenges that are making things difficult for you.

I've worked with clients (18 and up) from all kinds of backgrounds, each with their own set of needs and struggles. Whether it’s trauma, bereavement, loss, suicidal thoughts, gender or sexual identity concerns, neurodiversity, anxiety, family issues, or simply the ups and downs of life, I offer a compassionate, warm, and non-judgemental space. I believe therapy is a powerful tool to help you find meaning, understand who you are, and learn to accept yourself with kindness and without judgement.

What you can expect 

I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you explore what’s brought you to counselling, what you’re looking for, and how I can best support you. It’s also a chance for you to ask any questions you might have about my approach and what I can offer as a counsellor. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat or if there’s anything you’d like to know.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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).
