About me
Counselling and Therapy in Ludlow, Shropshire and Online Across the UK
Are you feeling low - overwhelmed by anxiety and stress? Perhaps you find it hard to relax, trust others, or feel calm. You might be carrying pain from past experiences, leaving you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of your next steps.
You may be hard on yourself, struggling with guilt, shame, or self-doubt. Perhaps you’ve had to stay strong for others for so long that you've lost touch with your own needs.
If you're tired of feeling trapped in patterns that no longer serve you, I can support you to reconnect with yourself, rebuild your self-worth, and move towards a future where you feel safe, valued, and at ease.
Who I Support
I work with adults (18+) experiencing a wide range of emotional and mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, sleep issues, family and identity struggles, bereavement, childhood trauma, abuse: emotional, physical & sexual, health-related concerns, and navigating neurodiversity (such as ADHD or Autism, diagnosed or suspected). I also offer support around LGBTQI+ related issues and menopause or age-related changes.
What is Counselling?
Counselling offers a safe, confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in a supportive and non-judgemental environment. Whether you’re looking for in-person therapy in Ludlow or online sessions from the comfort of your home, I’m here to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and work towards lasting change.
Inclusivity and Ethical Practice
I’m committed to creating a welcoming, respectful space for all clients, regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, or ability. I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and adhere to their ethical framework.

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.
