About me
As your counsellor I am here to help you explore your experiences and better understand yourself and your relationships, empowering you to make positive changes to promote your well-being.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, relationships, bereavement, depression or any other mental health issue, I am here to offer an empathic, non-judgmental and confidential safe space, listening to your concerns, and working together with you to achieve positive outcomes.
In addition to working with adults, I offer counselling to young people aged 12+.
I have over 14 years of experience in supporting teenagers with social, emotional and behaviour difficulties in secondary schools and as a counsellor in a sixth form college. I am passionate about bringing this extensive experience into the counselling room, offering younger clients a confidential and safe place to share and explore their stories.

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.
