About me
I am a qualified and experienced counsellor, trained integratively, with a strong person-centred foundation. This means that while I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches when helpful, my work is guided primarily by empathy, acceptance, and a belief in your innate capacity for growth and change. As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I work to a high professional and ethical standard and within a recognised code of conduct.
I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where a trusting and respectful therapeutic relationship can develop. Within this relationship, I bring authenticity, warmth, and care, and I hope this allows you to feel able to show up as yourself too. Together, we can explore your emotions, experiences, and patterns, helping you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself. With greater understanding often comes increased choice — and the possibility for meaningful change.
My work focuses on gently uncovering underlying issues, including their origins, and how they may be influencing your sense of self or your relationships with others. I am particularly interested in how past experiences continue to shape the present, often in ways we are not consciously aware of.
I believe that you already hold the potential for change within you, and that the right therapeutic environment can help you access this inner knowing. My aim is to provide a space in which you can feel supported to heal, grow, and develop in ways that feel more authentic and fulfilling.
We can work either short-term or long-term, depending on what you would like to explore and achieve.
I offer sessions face-to-face or online, and work on Tuesday and Friday daytimes, and Monday and Wednesday evenings.

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.
