About me
Sessions are available via online video call.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low in confidence or affected by experiences from the past. Perhaps you’re struggling with a relationship, facing a loss or change, or simply finding that life has become difficult to manage alone.
I offer warm, confidential online counselling for people aged 16 and over. Our sessions provide a calm and respectful space where you can talk openly, understand what you’re feeling and explore what you may need next.
How I can help
I have experience supporting people with:
• anxiety and panic attacks
• depression and low mood
• low self-esteem and confidence
• bereavement and loss
• relationship and family difficulties
• work or academic stress
• perimenopause and menopause
• gender dysphoria and questions around identity
• difficult experiences from the past
• feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward
Whatever brings you to counselling, we can begin with what feels most important to you.
What working with me is like
I am a person-centred counsellor, which means our work begins with you. I won’t judge you, rush you or tell you what you should do.
Instead, we’ll work together at a pace that feels manageable. I aim to offer a relationship built on warmth, honesty and respect, where you feel safe enough to be yourself and explore your experiences openly.
My practice welcomes people from all backgrounds. I work with respect for different cultures, beliefs, identities, ages and life experiences.
My experience
I am a BACP accredited counsellor with over 17 years of experience working one-to-one with clients of varied ages, backgrounds and circumstances.
Alongside my private practice, I work at Loughborough College as a counsellor for students and as an associate counsellor for Wellbeing in the Arts. I previously worked as a counsellor for West Leicestershire Mind for five years and Burton & District Mind for six years.
Online counselling
All counselling appointments take place online by video call. This means you can attend from a private and comfortable space anywhere in the UK without needing to travel.
Counselling can be short term, sometimes between 6 and 12 sessions, or longer-term and open-ended. Sessions are usually weekly, although fortnightly appointments may also be possible.
EMDR therapy
I also offer online EMDR therapy for adults aged 18 and over.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. It can help people process difficult or distressing experiences that continue to affect how they feel, think or respond in the present.
EMDR sessions are always carefully paced. We’ll spend time understanding what brings you to therapy, building grounding strategies and making sure you feel ready before any memory processing begins.
Taking the first step
Reaching out to a counsellor can feel like a big step. You’re welcome to email, call or text me to ask a question or explore whether working together might feel right.
There’s no pressure to arrange a session. We can begin with a conversation and take it from there.
I know reaching out can be a big step, so I make it a priority to respond to every enquiry. If you don't see my reply in your inbox, please check your junk or spam folder, as emails can occasionally end up there. If you still can't find my response, please feel free to contact me again.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
