About me
How I Work:
My work is informed by the person-centred approach - a humanistic therapy that is based on the understanding that you know the best way forward in your life.
I am here to help you to live more authentically, to explore your relationship with different parts of yourself, and to help you move from being stuck to a more flexible way of experiencing.
I do this by providing a space where you can bring your whole self, in a safe and non-judgemental way. I do not give advice or diagnoses. I work in a warm, patient, and collaborative way to help you explore the emotions and experiences that are causing you distress.
Therapy requires you to think deeply about yourself, your emotions, and your past, and this can be really challenging - therapy is hard work! I'll be with you every step of the way, at your pace.
Having said that, I also think that there can be so much that is enjoyable about therapy. That might seem a little weird to say, but I believe there can also be room for laughter and humour in sessions as we navigate difficult territory - essentially, however you are, is how you can be in sessions with me. This is your hour to be fully yourself and take space without judgement.
There is no right or wrong way to do therapy!
The First Session:
I will ask you a few questions and then the space is yours to tell me what you want to gain from therapy. If you have any goals or issues you might have, bring them here.
We can then form an idea about how we might work together.
If we both feel we're a good fit, we can schedule in further sessions. We will sign a contract which will stipulate how I work, what you can expect from me about confidentiality and the legal and ethical side of things.
Therapy with me can be open ended or set to your own timescale – and we will continue to chat about what you need along the way.
Who I Work With:
I have helped clients struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, body dysmorphia, low self-esteem, family issues, relationship issues and shame. I also have experience in working with neurodivergent clients, and those awaiting or seeking ADHD and ASD diagnoses.
I have also supported clients who:
- are in non-monogamous and non-traditional relationships
- wish to explore their gender identity and/or sexuality
- are navigating the relationship between their culture and their LGBTQ+ identity.
I aim to get back to enquiries within a working day - please check your junk folder if you're waiting for a reply from me!
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy, from the University of Salford.
My training is in the Person-Centred approach.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and am bound by its code of ethics and professional practice.
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
Everyone works differently, and I am open to exploring how you work best. This might look like:
- needing a recap of previous sessions to help with working memory
- using Post-its or writing notes to aid focus
- using fidget or stim toys.
I am currently writing a research dissertation for an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
