About me
If you have found your way here, you may be contemplating counselling for the first time, or perhaps considering a return to therapy after a period away. Reaching out for support can feel like a significant step, yet it is often the beginning of meaningful growth, healing and self-discovery.
People seek counselling for a multitude of reasons. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, bereavement, stress, low self-worth, emotional overwhelm, or difficulties within your relationships.
As a qualified counsellor, I work with individuals, young people and couples seeking to navigate life's complexities, strengthen emotional resilience, improve communication and foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity and respect, recognising that every person's story and circumstances are unique.
I appreciate that attending counselling can feel intimidating, particularly when discussing deeply personal matters. With this in mind, I have intentionally created a calm, welcoming and restorative environment that feels far removed from a traditional clinical setting. Rather than bright lights, sterile decor and impersonal surroundings, you will find a tranquil and comfortable space where you can feel genuinely heard, understood and supported.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified counsellor with recognised qualifications and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (MNCPS).
Throughout my training and professional practice, I have worked with a diverse range of clients experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, bereavement, low self-esteem, trauma, emotional overwhelm and relationship difficulties. I also work as a couples counsellor, supporting partners to improve communication, navigate conflict, rebuild trust and strengthen their connection.
Alongside my formal qualifications, I engage in regular professional supervision and continuing professional development to ensure my practice remains ethical, current and effective. A few examples of my additional training include, bereavement support, trauma-informed practice, therapy in nature, creativity in counselling and specialist therapeutic interventions relevant to my work.
I'm passionate about bereavement support and currently volunteer for a children's bereavement charity working with young people and their families. This work has deepened my understanding of grief and loss in all its forms, and how it shows up differently for everyone.
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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
