About me
I offer a warm, non-judgmental and empathetic space where you can talk freely.
Beginning your counselling journey can feel daunting but building a trusting relationship is at the heart of our work. Your experiences and emotions are important to me and I aim to ensure they are genuinely heard and understood.
Together we can reflect on your thoughts and feelings, supporting you as you work through difficult emotions and personal changes.
I have experience supporting people struggling with anxiety, depression, loss, relationship issues and self-worth. I welcome clients from all communities and am passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ individuals.
How I work
I am an integrative counsellor which means I draw on a range of approaches and techniques tailored to you and your goals in therapy. We will work together to make sense of your experiences and find ways to navigate life that feel right for you.
To do this I combine several approaches in my work including:
Relational and developmental approaches which help us understand how your relationships and past experiences influence the present.
Person-centred therapy which prioritises your perspective and inner resources, helping you connect with your thoughts, feelings and authentic self, whilst building on your strengths.
I also use practical techniques that focus on the connection between your body, nervous system, and emotions, supporting regulation and insight. This helps us find the right tools to manage challenges and create positive change.

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.
