About me

Feeling overwhelmed? You don't have to go through it alone.

If you're struggling with stress, anxiety, or difficult emotions, I’m here to help. As a fully qualified psychotherapist with 10 years’ experience, I offer confidential, compassionate counselling in Horsforth and Harrogate, tailored to your individual needs.

✔️ Free Initial Telephone Consultation (20 mins)– A chance to see if counselling feels right for you.
✔️ Flexible Sessions – In-person or online, to fit around your life.
✔️ A Safe, Supportive Space – Somewhere to talk openly, without judgement.

It’s not always easy to make sense of our thoughts and feelings, and loved ones—however well-meaning—can sometimes be too close to the situation. Counselling gives you the time and space to find clarity, gain confidence, and move forward with hope.

Take that first step today. Get in touch for a friendly chat.

Training, qualifications & experience

A Tailored and Compassionate Approach to Counselling

I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy. I am committed to the 'Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions' which governs safe and professional practice.

My counselling approach is integrative and relational, meaning I draw on a range of therapeutic models to suit your individual needs and personality. These include humanistic, existential, behavioural, psychodynamic, transactional analysis, and creative therapies. I have extensive experience in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma.

For those who find faith and spirituality significant, I understand the profound impact these can have on personal well-being. As a practising Christian, I can incorporate these aspects into our work together—only if relevant and meaningful to you.

I offer both short-term and open-ended therapy, with regular reviews to ensure the support remains aligned with your needs.

Member organisations

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
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

It is important you find a counsellor you feel comfortable to work with. I therefore offer a free, 20 min initial consultation, which allows us to discuss your needs and therapy goals to then decide whether we are able to work together. We will then continually review if the counselling is having a beneficial impact.

Additional charges may apply for letter writing, invoicing and other administrative tasks.
