About me
Many people come to counselling feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, exhausted, or simply unsure why things feel so difficult. You may be struggling with relationships, low self-esteem, anxiety, loss, life changes, or patterns that seem to repeat despite your best efforts to change them.
I offer a warm, accepting, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about whatever is on your mind. My aim is to help you feel genuinely heard and understood, often for perhaps the first time in a long while.
As an experienced counsellor and registered member of the BACP, I work with adults, young people and couples facing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. My approach is integrative, with a strong person-centred foundation. In practice, this means I tailor therapy to you as an individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
Together, we can explore not only what is happening in your life right now, but also the deeper patterns and experiences that may be influencing how you feel, think, and relate to others. I am particularly interested in understanding how past experiences can continue to affect us in the present, often outside of our awareness.
Clients often describe me as warm, genuine, and easy to talk to. I believe that meaningful change happens within a trusting therapeutic relationship, and I strive to create an environment where you feel safe enough to explore difficult feelings at your own pace.
Whether you are looking for support with a specific issue or wanting a deeper understanding of yourself, counselling can offer the opportunity to heal, grow, and move towards a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
I offer both short-term and long-term therapy, either in person or online. Sessions can be held face-to-face or online, and I 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.
