About me
I am a BACP Registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist working online and in-person with adults and couples. I can help you with issues including but not limited to anxiety, depression, low self esteem, relationship problems, trauma, eating problems, abuse and addictions.
You may be feeling anxious, depressed or sad. Maybe you are struggling with panic attacks and low self esteem. You might be affected by unhelpful patterns or painful unresolved issues from the past. Sometimes it is not as specific as that. You may just have a bothersome feeling something isn't right.
If you feel embarrassed or doubtful about reaching out, please know that you are not alone. According to a survey by the Mental Health Foundation:
- 2/3 of respondents admitted suffering from a mental/ emotional health problem
overall - statistics show that psychological well being is getting worse
- only 13% report having high levels of good mental health.
My approach is integrative and I use, amongst others, the following approaches or elements of it: Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Person-centred, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Jungian and transpersonal psychology.
I offer a free initial conversation so please get in touch today.
How can I help you?
Drawing on my warmth, empathy and experience I provide a safe space where you can express yourself and feel heard without fear of judgement. Working together we will find ways to help you overcome your problems. Counselling is an opportunity to gather breathing space, talk about what matters the most to you and feel supported and encouraged to make the changes you need. Therapy can help you to gain clarity, feeling less stuck and regain confidence, serenity and hope.
Becoming aware of how and when your patterns developed gives you more choice in the way you respond to people and frees you up to be yourself. It enables you to make the changes you are longing for and flourish.
How we do this depends on your background, the stage you are at in your life, the issues you are facing and any preferences you might have for a specific way of working or type of therapy. I am a professional and respected therapist with several years of experience and have worked with the majority of problems that people encounter.
Having seen many clients embrace a happier and fulfilling life, I know that with your willingness and my support it is possible to overcome the challenges that you are facing and use them as an opportunity to strengthen you and help you embrace the life you want .

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.
