About me
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or low mood, struggling with past trauma, or finding it hard to cope with addiction and it's now affecting work and relationships? Or maybe you feel lost, lack direction or motivation and don't understand why?
Perhaps your relationship is under strain-conversations turning into arguments, having the same arguments over and over again, or feeling emotionally distant from each other, or finding it difficult to build trust after infideltily/emotional cheating?
Are you or your relationship finding it difficult to adapt to life changes such as becoming parents, or navigating challenges with being part of a blended family, or coping with difficult teenagers? All of this can put pressure on even the strongest relationships.
Whatever brings you to counselling, I offer a calm, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can begin to make sense of what's going on. For individuals, this may mean exploring difficult emotions, understanding patterns, and finding a way forward that feels right for you. For couples, I support you both to improve communication, better understand each other's perspectives, and work through challenges together at a pace that feels manageable. My approach is collaborative and centred around you-helping you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change.
If you think i might be the right counsellor for you please contact me by email or text and I'll aim to get back to you within 24 hours.

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.
