About me
Wherever we are in life, we can all encounter challenges that leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. During these times, therapy offers a supportive, safe, confidential space where you can explore what is going on for you, free from judgement and with genuine empathy.
As a qualified and experienced counsellor, I provide a calm and compassionate environment where you are truly heard and respected. Our work together is led by you, at your pace. Through open reflection and exploration, we focus on uncovering your own strengths and supporting you, through these strengths to move towards meaningful, lasting change in your life and a greater sense of wellbeing.
Therapy can offer clarity, build emotional resilience, and create a renewed sense of direction. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, loss, low self-esteem, life transitions or simply seeking greater self-awareness, therapy can help you understand your thoughts and feelings more deeply, and empower you to respond in ways that feel right for you.
If you're considering therapy, I am happy to have a brief phone or email conversation to talk through your needs and see whether I might be the right fit for you. You are welcome to get in touch to arrange an initial session, and start your healing journey together.
Training, qualifications & experience
- BSc. (Hons) Counselling. Bath Spa University.
- CBT certificate. Level 6.
- Advanced Diploma in Counselling Supervision. Level 7 (NCPS Accred.)
- International Montessori Teaching Diploma.
- Member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy
- Member of National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (UK)
I have experience working with a wide variety of people struggling with many different challenges including, anxiety, depression, low self-worth, addiction, loss, grief, bereavement, trauma, PTSD, flashbacks, low self-worth and self-image, relationship difficulties, loneliness and childhood issues and sexual assault. As a member of the BACP I adhere to their ethical code of conduct within my practice.
I hold an advanced diploma in counselling supervision and can offer supervision for individuals and groups / organisations.
I have previously worked as an Early Years teacher and Montessori teacher and have significant experience in supporting families through a wide range of difficulties and challenges. These experiences led to my interest how our behaviours and emotions in the present are affected by our past experiences and also led my belief that no matter what age or stage of life we are at, change and growth and a greater sense of peace are always possible.
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.
