About me
Hello and a warm welcome. I am a qualified BACP-registered integrative counsellor offering a safe, inclusive space for young people (13+) and adults to explore the challenges they may be facing. I support clients with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, self-harm, childhood trauma, grief and relationship difficulties.
My approach is relational and person-centred, working collaboratively rather than “doing” therapy to you. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and together we create a safe, supportive space to help you understand yourself more deeply. I offer empathy, honesty and a non-judgemental environment, whether we meet in the room or for walk-and-talk sessions.
Together, we will explore both past and present experiences, noticing patterns and beliefs that may be shaping your life today, and working towards greater self-understanding and positive change.
I have worked in the charity sector where I gained experience of supporting young people and adults around Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) and I offer an affirming space for LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent clients. My practice values difference and welcomes people from all backgrounds, cultures and identities.
Whether you are looking for short-term support or longer-term therapy, I will work with you at a pace that feels right for you, helping you build confidence, resilience, and a better understanding of yourself.

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.
