About me
I am a warm, relational counsellor who believes much of what we struggle with in the present is shaped by our past relationships and experiences- often in ways we are not fully aware of.
I offer a space where you can slow things down, feel heard, and begin to make sense of patterns that may be keeping you stuck. You don't need to come with a clear 'problem' - many people I work with simply have a sense that something doesn't feel quite right, whether that is in relationships, self-esteem or how they experience themselves in the world.
Throughout my professional experience, I have had the privilege to work with and help many people through their difficulties, learn to understand and manage their emotions, increasing well-being and enjoy life again.
I strongly believe that people have the potential for growth and the resilience for making positive changes in their life, and believe that the therapeutic relationship we will create together plays a huge part in helping you take that step forward to becoming the best version of yourself.
I work with people across a range of issues, including low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, anxiety, ADHD and autism. I also have a particular interest in how past experiences, including childhood experiences, can continue to shape how we feel and relate to ourselves and others.
As an AuDHD adult, I understand how important it is to find a counsellor who can adapt their approach to suit you. I welcome neurodivergent clients, whilst also working with anyone who is looking to better understand themselves and their experience.
I am currently able to offer online sessions, which means you can access counselling from the comfort of your home at a time that suits you.
Alongside my counselling practice, I am also a clinical supervisor and tutor, teaching counselling to level 4.
I aim to offer a genuine, down-to-earth presence with a balance of warmth and gentle challenge and a space where you can be yourself without needing to 'get it right'.
I don't see therapy as something you need to do perfectly, but as a place to explore, reflect and start to understand yourself more deeply.
I understand the importance of finding the right counsellor, where you can feel comfortable and at ease, and offer short or long-term therapy, working at your pace.
Please feel free to contact me to see how I can best support you.

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
My approach is grounded in relationship and collaboration. I trained in integrative counselling drawing on Transactional Analysis, Person-Centred, Gestalt and Psychodynamic modalities.
Alongside this, I work in a way that is compassionate, curious and gently exploratory, supporting you to build awareness and develop a different relationship with yourself over time.
