About me
Wellbeing means different things to different people. Whether you are looking for a new direction in life, feel under pressure, struggle in a relationship, or struggle to find words to talk about what you are going through, I am glad that you found your way here. I know that seeking professional help can sometimes feel daunting. Making the choice to seek help is brave and an important step forward.
If you feel you are in a difficult place and would like to talk to someone, I am here to listen and help you find the answers within yourself at a pace that feels comfortable to you. It is good to talk about what is troubling us no matter how big or small this may be. If you are new to counselling, remember there is always a first time.
What I can help with
I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, registered with BACP. I offer one to one, online and telephone counselling. I also offer a no-obligation 20-minute initial consultation free of charge. I have experience working with adults with a range of mental health difficulties and specialist expertise in working with young people. I specialise in anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD and other conditions.
What to expect from counselling
The first session
In our first session we will explore together the difficulties you experience and the changes you would like to see in your life. Most of us will have some difficulties at some point in our life. I may ask you to tell me a bit about what brought you to counselling. This will help me understand what type of therapy might be more helpful for you. In the first session, we will discuss your preferences about how we can work together. The first session also offers you the opportunity to find out more about how counselling may be able to help you.
Based on the assessment from our first session, I will offer a range of therapy approaches that I think best suit the difficulties you are going through. I will explain to you the details so you can make an informed choice about how we proceed in therapy. This will help us form a therapy plan.
Some people experience some anxiety before the first session which is understandable. If this relates to you, I would like to reassure you that I am not here to judge, only offer some guidance and help you move forward. I will do everything I can to help you feel comfortable.
I offer a safe, warm, and confidential space for you to explore yourself and make sense of whatever you are going through.

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.
