About me

You are the person at the centre.

Are you feeling stuck or unfulfilled? You may have experienced significant changes and feel overwhelmed. Perhaps you could benefit from support to unpick and understand your specific challenges.

It can be difficult to articulate your feelings or share your thoughts with those close to you, leaving you feeling alone in dealing with things.

During our sessions, you will find a relaxed, safe, and confidential environment. Together, we can explore your current situation, discover the changes you want to make, and establish the foundations to make those changes a reality.

My goal is to gently guide you to creating a greater sense of well-being and personal growth. You will be heard without judgment, in a place where you can be your authentic self and feel supported at every step. Together, we can navigate your challenges and work towards a more balanced and confident you.

Client Testimonials

'Exceptional & Inspirational service, I have benefitted more than I can say from an empathic, challenging and innovative approach that's enabled me to work on myself and take control of making things better"

"The space you have given me to just be myself has been everything”

Training, qualifications & experience

Sessions can be either online, telephone or face to face in a tranquil, private setting at Rudyard Lake, Staffordshire, with ample free secure parking.

I have helped clients with a variety of issues, understanding that each client has their own unique problems, contexts, and circumstances that I respond to differently. Therefore, I am a strong advocate for a flexible approach. As an integrative counsellor, I employ a variety of methods and techniques to meet everyone's needs.

I utilise various modalities such as Humanistic, Person-Centred, CBT, Transactional Analysis, IFS, ACT Therapy, Positive Psychology, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness.

Everyone deserves to be heard and to be their true selves. My goal is to support and collaborate with you to develop a better awareness of yourself, improve your well-being, and enhance your relationships with others.

Whatever your reason for exploring therapy, I provide a safe, non-judgemental, and confidential space for you to delve into issues and experiences that are important or challenging. 

By sharing experiences, voicing feelings, and working with me, I aim to guide you through both the difficult and enlightening moments of therapy. This process empowers you to make positive changes and live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

As a Registered Member of BACP, I adhere to their code of ethics to maintain a high standard of therapeutic practice.

My first session

Before we start, we’ll have a quick chat over the phone or zoom. This gives you a chance to tell me a bit about yourself, what you’re hoping to achieve, and ask any questions. 

If you decide to move forward, we’ll schedule our first session, there’s a bit of paperwork to complete, and I’m happy to answer any questions you might have. I recommend an extended initial consultation of 1.5 hours (+£15) for more therapeutic benefit, but it’s not necessary.

I’ll get to know you better and understand more about what you’re looking to achieve and you can see if the session feels right for you. My hope is that You’ll leave feeling supported and confident in our therapeutic relationship.

Reach out by phone or email to set up a convenient time.
Let’s work together to improve your well-being.

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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
