About me
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck or carrying more than you can manage?
Life doesn't always unfold as we expect. You may be struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties, or simply feel that you've lost your sense of direction. Sometimes there isn't a single reason – just the feeling that things have become too much.
Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.
I believe that counselling is about more than talking. It's about being truly heard, making sense of your experiences, and finding a way forward that feels right for you. My role is not to tell you what to do or to judge your choices, but to work alongside you in a safe, confidential and supportive space where you can explore whatever is on your mind at your own pace.
As an integrative counsellor, I tailor therapy to the individual rather than expecting every client to fit one particular model. Alongside talking therapy, I draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques where they are helpful, always adapting my approach to your needs and goals.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent many years working in the legal profession. That experience gave me a deep appreciation of responsibility, pressure, confidentiality and the challenges people can face both professionally and personally. Today, alongside my private practice, I work as a Wellbeing Counsellor supporting people experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, and I continue to volunteer with Cruse Bereavement Support, helping those who are coping with the loss of someone important.
Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted or unsure where to begin. You don't need to have all the answers before counselling starts. We can begin wherever you are.
I work with adults experiencing issues including anxiety, stress, bereavement, depression, low self-esteem, workplace pressures, life transitions, relationship difficulties and loss. Whether you're facing a recent crisis or something you've carried for many years, counselling can provide the opportunity to understand yourself more deeply and make lasting changes.
I offer online counselling providing a warm, professional and non-judgemental environment where you can speak openly and feel genuinely listened to.
Taking the first step can often be the hardest. If you're wondering whether counselling is right for you, I offer an initial conversation where we can discuss what has brought you here, answer any questions you may have, and see whether we feel we would work well together.
You don't have to work everything out on your own. When you're ready, I'd be pleased to hear from you

Experience
I am an integrative counsellor, combining person-centred talking therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques, tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each client.
Alongside my private practice, I work as a Wellbeing Counsellor for a leading Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), providing immediate emotional support, assessments and structured short-term counselling for clients experiencing a wide range of personal and workplace difficulties.
I also volunteer with Cruse Bereavement Support, where I provide one-to-one bereavement counselling to people coping with the loss of someone significant. My work with Cruse has strengthened my understanding of grief in all its forms and the importance of compassionate, person-centred support.
Before training as a counsellor, I spent many years working in the legal profession. This experience developed strong listening and communication skills, a deep respect for confidentiality, and a commitment to professionalism and ethical practice—qualities that continue to underpin my work as a counsellor.
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.
