About me
I am an Integrative Counsellor, offering a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and at your own pace. I understand that seeking counselling can feel daunting, and I aim to help you feel safe, heard, and supported from our very first session.
I work integratively, which means I draw on different approaches to tailor therapy to you as an individual. I support people with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship issues, self-esteem, loss, and life transitions. Whatever brings you to counselling, we will work together to explore what’s going on for you and find ways forward that feel meaningful and manageable.
I am warm, empathetic, and respectful, and I believe that a trusting therapeutic relationship is central to positive change. You don’t need to have everything figured out, just a willingness to begin.

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.

Further information
Alongside my counselling work, I am also a qualified acupuncturist and reflexologist, which means I come from a holistic background that recognises the close connection between mind and body. Counselling can be offered as a stand‑alone service; however, where appropriate and at your request, I can gently incorporate this wider holistic understanding into our work together, ensuring the approach always feels right for you.
