About me
BACP Registered Counsellor, offering in-person and online, long or short-term, one-to-one counselling for adults and young people over 14 years.
I believe that we are all individuals, shaped by our unique life experiences, with our own pain and struggles. I provide a safe and confidential space to listen without judgement, to help you process whatever is going on for you in that moment, and to be alongside you in it. Through empathy and compassion, I can model what I believe to be essential for healing: self-compassion.
Humanistic and Integrative Counselling - what does this mean?
The therapeutic relationship is often cited as the most important contributor to positive change. This relational approach is at the core of how I work, whilst also drawing from a variety of therapeutic theories as we try to find the source of difficult feelings and to make sense of your experience.
Although I believe that we are the experts on ourselves, sometimes life can feel confusing and overwhelming, and it helps to have someone really listen and try to understand. I do not make decisions for you but aim to work collaboratively with you to explore the best way for you to move forward. I will suspend assumptions and meet you on your own terms with my fully authentic self. This may be a new and unique experience in your life.
We might talk about your life and relationships now and in the past, including childhood. We will explore emotions; some of these you may not even be aware of yet. This means that difficult feelings can emerge in therapy; I will work with you to help you be with them. This may include using visualisations, mindfulness, breathing or other body techniques or creative activities.
Building upon personal experience, I am also particularly interested in working with clients who are, or who care for people who are neurodivergent or have disabilities.
Please get in touch directly via email or via the form on my website. I would be happy to hear from you to see if I can help.

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.
