About us

I am a qualified counsellor offering a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space for clients to talk through whatever they are experiencing. My aim is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported as you work through challenges at your own pace.

I work with adults facing a range of emotional and mental health difficulties, including stress, anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Sessions are confidential and tailored to your individual needs.

I offer one-to-one counselling sessions for adults, either in-person or online (depending on your setup). My approach is collaborative and focused on helping you explore your thoughts, feelings, and patterns in a safe environment.

I can help with issues such as:

  • Anxiety and stress
  • Depression and low mood
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Self-esteem and confidence
  • Life changes and transitions
  • Emotional overwhelm
  • Sessions are typically 50 minutes and can be arranged on a weekly basis.

Training, qualifications & experience

I hold a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy. My academic training has provided me with a strong foundation in psychological theory, human behaviour, and therapeutic practice.

I have experience working with adults experiencing a range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I offer a supportive and collaborative approach, tailoring sessions to each client’s individual needs.

I am committed to maintaining an ethical and professional practice.

Member organisations *

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

We have verified that at least one professional at this organisation is registered with the relevant professional body.
