About me
At times, we all need a little extra support to help us navigate through life's challenges. I work with a wide range of issues which include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, post natal depression, low mood, low self-esteem, anger, social anxiety, school related stress and confidence issues.
I understand that each person's experience is unique and I am committed to offering a safe space where you can feel truly heard and valued. I offer both face-to-face and online sessions for adults, young people and couples, in a warm, empathic and non-judgemental environment. Whether you're looking for long term or time limited therapy, my goal is to provide a compassionate holistic approach, where you can embark on a journey of healing and personal growth.
In addition to my private practice, I work as a school counsellor and also with an agency offering emotional support to survivors of sexual assault and abuse.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of theories to support you in exploring your thoughts, feelings and experiences, working at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My approach encourages curiosity about different aspects of your life, helping you to make meaningful connections between the past and the present.
I look forward to walking alongside you on your path of self discovery.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, (BACP) I am fully committed to working within their code of ethics.
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.
