About me
Starting counselling can feel daunting, especially if you’re not sure what to expect or whether it’s right for you.
You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. I offer a calm, confidential space where you can talk openly, without pressure or judgement
As a person-centred counsellor, our sessions are shaped around you. We’ll work together at your own pace, helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing, and finding your own way forward.
I offer a warm, genuine and accepting relationship, grounded in empathy, authenticity, and respect.
I’m passionate about making counselling feel more accessible, especially for people who may feel nervous or unsure about starting.
You may have been trying to make sense of things on your own, and you don't need to have had counselling before - just come as you are, and we’ll start from wherever you feel comfortable.
Training, qualifications & experience
BSc (Hons) Social Science.
FdSc Person-Centred Counselling.
I am a qualified person-centred counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within the Ethical Framework to ensure good practice.
I have also volunteered with a charity supporting people living with drug and alcohol addiction.
I undertake regular supervision and continued personal and professional development.
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.

Further information
Making the first steps to start counselling can feel overwhelming, so I aim to make the process as comfortable as possible for you.
My practice is based in Rye, directly opposite the train station, making it easy to access for clients travelling from East Sussex and Kent, including Hastings, Bexhill and Ashford (around 20 minutes).
I also offer online sessions for those who feel more comfortable working that way.
