About me
I am a warm and compassionate integrative counsellor, offering a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can begin to explore whatever may be troubling you.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting, and I aim to work alongside you at your own pace, helping you feel heard, understood and gently supported.
As a fully qualified and accredited counsellor, I have worked with a diverse range of clients over several years, including those experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and the lasting impact of childhood trauma.
My approach is integrative, meaning I draw on a range of therapeutic models to best support your individual needs.
I may incorporate elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, psychodynamic understanding, mindfulness-based approaches and solution focused therapy, helping you to explore both current challenges and the deeper patterns that may be influencing your experiences.
Together, we can begin to make sense of what feels difficult, uncover new perspectives and support you in making meaninful and lasting changes.
Through this process, many clients find a growing sense of clarity, confidence and emotional resilience.
My aim is to support you in developing the tools and self-awareness needed to navigate life's challenges with greater ease, and to begin reconnecting with a sense of enjoyment and fulfilment in your life.
I also have experience of supporting Adults with childhood trauma (ch-PTSD) by way of the Advanced Image Rescripting technique which has been found to be very effective in relieving the symptoms of childhood post- traumatic stress.
My working days are Monday - Friday 9.00 - 7.00 pm.
My practice is to arrange an initial 20 minute session, for which I can offer for free so that we can judge whether we will be able to work productively together. I welcome enquiries from both Adults and young people (17+).

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.
