About me
Reconnecting with what matters to you and living in a way that feels aligned
You might be managing, even functioning through anxiety, stress, or burnout, but underneath it can feel like constant pressure, overthinking, and exhaustion that doesn't fully lift. Or you might find yourself at the edge of that edge, where everything feels like too much, yet you keep going anyway.
Counselling with me offers a space to pause, slow things down, and gently begin to reconnect. Not with someone else's version of who you should be, but with what actually matters to you—beneath the performances, the pressures, the ways you've learned to keep going.
How I work
I work responsively with you. If you're unsure where to start, I'll offer options and we move at a pace that feels manageable. Depending on what emerges, I help you explore how patterns from your past shape your present responses, recognise that what feels like burnout or anxiety often involves deeper loss—of identity, of the life you expected, of who you thought you'd be—and find your way back to authenticity.
I bring trauma-informed and culturally-informed practice throughout, understanding how your background and circumstances have shaped your experience. You're the expert on your own life; my role is to listen carefully, help you make sense of what's happening, and walk alongside you in finding a way forward that feels aligned with who you actually are.
You don't need to have the right words or a clear starting point. Many people begin unsure how to explain what's going on. That's completely enough. We can take a first step at whatever pace feels manageable to you.
Training, qualifications & experience
My qualifications:
- BA (Hons) Counselling and Therapeutic Practice (Integrative Pluralistic)
- Cruse Bereavement Training (Specialist)
- ADHD Coaching Certificate + Autism Training
- Trauma-Informed & Culturally-Informed Practice
- Registered member of BACP with ongoing supervision and professional development
Before starting private practice, I worked in community counselling services with adults facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, bereavement, family issues, and relationship difficulties. I've also supported people living with the effects of domestic abuse, neurodivergence, menopause, chronic illness, and the challenges of migration or cultural identity. These experiences taught me the importance of creating a space that's flexible, respectful, and responsive to the realities of each person's life.
My commitment to ongoing supervision and professional development, alongside a lifelong curiosity about the human experience that shapes how I read, think, and work with clients, means the support I offer remains grounded, safe, and current.
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.

What to write in your first email:
You don't need to have it all figured out. A simple starting point is enough—something like:
"I've been struggling with [what's been difficult for you], and I think I need some support. I'm not entirely sure how to explain it all yet, but something needs to change."
Or simply tell me what made you look for counselling now. That's enough to begin.
A note: If you're worried about being judged or rejected—please know that's exactly the kind of thing counselling is for. You're not going to shock me or be too much. People come to me with all kinds of difficulties, and I'm here to listen without judgement.
