About me
Many people carry their struggles quietly, managing as best they can while something doesn’t quite feel right. It can be difficult to speak openly with friends or family, especially when emotions feel complex or relationships are involved. Talking with an experienced therapist, someone outside of your immediate world, can offer a space focused entirely on you, often bringing clarity and relief.
I offer a calm, confidential, and supportive environment where you can talk openly about whatever may be troubling you. I work with individuals and couples from all backgrounds and am an accredited and experienced therapist, as well as a registered member of the BACP.
With over ten years’ experience and an established practice, I support people with a wide range of difficulties, offering a steady and thoughtful approach. You may be experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, or a sense of feeling stuck or overwhelmed, experiences that are not always easy to make sense of alone.
In our work together, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore what is going on at your own pace. I will support you in understanding your experiences, recognising patterns, and finding a way forward that feels right for you.
I have particular experience in anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, loss and bereavement, low self-esteem, and family-related issues. I am also a recognised provider for AXA Health, Vitality Health, and WPA.
I am a qualified and accredited counsellor with over 13 years’ experience, working in private practice and within the NHS.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified and accredited counsellor having completed 3 years of training in Humanistic Integrative Counselling to Diploma Level with 13 years post-qualification experience. As well as my private practice, I work for the NHS in a Primary Care setting.
As an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), I am bound by their Code of Ethics and Practice.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
