About me
Do you feel overwhelmed, numb, stuck or unsure of yourself? Are you living with loss or change that feels heavy, complicated or hard to navigate? I offer a steady, compassionate presence as you find your way forward. This could be something that has affected you recently or something you have been carrying from the past that still impacts you today. My work is led by you. I offer a non-judgmental, supportive relationship where you do not need to have the right words or know where to start. I will not push for solutions or tell you how you should be feeling. Instead, I will walk alongside you as you explore what this means to you.
I have experience supporting children, adults and older adults through charities and private practice. My work includes grief, loneliness, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, neurodiversity, and life transitions, including redundancy support. I offer a warm, person-centred space where clients feel heard and supported.
The way I work puts you at the core of our sessions - you set the pace, the direction and the content of each session. My role is to be beside you on your journey and to bring your attention to things that we pass along the way. I work with you to explore what this means to you and will walk beside you wherever it takes us.
I offer sessions in person at The Wellbeing Space in Long Buckby, online, by telephone, home visits within 10 miles of Long Buckby and Walk and Talk sessions in various locations throughout Northamptonshire and Warwickshire.

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.
