About me
Within my private practice, I'm passionate about supporting people through the life changing experiences of baby loss in all its forms (including single and recurrent miscarriage, stillbirth, termination for medical reasons, ectopic pregnancies, etc); pregnancy anxiety and fertility challenges (including IVF and donor conception).
I have personal lived experience in many of these areas, which I hope deepens my empathy and understanding of what you are going through, enabling greater relational depth and trust between us.
I'm a member of The British Infertility Counselling Association (BICA), have been trained by the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Charity (SANDS) and I'm also a qualified Rainbow Baby & Infertility Specialist at The Foundation For Infant Loss (FIL).
Outside of the fertility space, I also continuously support clients experiencing other forms of grief and loss - whether this is the death of a loved one, a relationship ending, a chapter of life closing or even the loss of a dream/purpose.
A little about how we'd work together: I strive to meet you as an equal. I’m not an expert, nor do I provide answers or solutions. Instead, my role is to metaphorically walk alongside you as an empathic, non-judgemental facilitator. I believe that both you and our relationship are completely unique, so I work with whatever you bring to our sessions....
Perhaps you simply need to be seen and heard; to be able to tell your story without feeling criticised or minimised. To be held in your grief, exactly as you are, and for your experiences to feel valid. Or you may prefer that I take on a more active role in our therapeutic relationship, empowering and challenging you to gain a better understanding of yourself and your relationships; explore how purpose and meaning might be evolving in your life; to take more risks and recognise your potential for growth.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am always striving to enhance my skills and knowledge in the field of baby loss and fertility counselling, to ensure that I am at my very best for you. I am a member of The British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, I have been trained by SANDS and I'm also a qualified Rainbow Baby & Infertility Specialist at The Foundation for Infant Loss. I endeavour to continue learning - academically, professionally and emotionally - in this very important space.

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.
