About me

Sometimes life takes us down paths we never expected to find ourselves on. We can feel lost, overwhelmed or unsure which way to turn, with brambles and nettles making every step feel that little bit harder.

Sometimes we just need a helping hand to cut back the brambles, clear the way ahead and find our feet again.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD or relationship bumps, you don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Perhaps you know what's troubling you, or perhaps you just know that something doesn't feel right. Either way, counselling can help you make sense of things and work out what you need.

We're all individuals, with our own experiences and ways of seeing the world. There's no one-size-fits-all approach to counselling, and no set way we have to work.

I know that talking things through isn't always easy, especially when you're not quite sure where to start. We can take time to make sense of what's happening, untangle the things that feel difficult and work out what might help.

Above all, I want you to feel able to be yourself, knowing you'll be met with kindness, compassion, understanding and no judgement. You don't need to have all the answers. Together, we can begin to clear the way ahead, helping you feel more like yourself again and look towards the future with renewed hope and confidence.

Member organisations

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.
