About me
Are you feeling overwhelmed, struggling to cope, or weighed down by feelings of loneliness, frustration, anxiety, sadness, or anger? Perhaps you feel lost or desperate and just need someone to truly listen. Therapy offers a space where you can explore these emotions and experiences with support, understanding, and care.
Seeking counselling is a courageous step. It can be challenging and sometimes painful, but it can also be profoundly healing and life-changing. In a safe and confidential space, therapy allows you to express your thoughts and feelings freely, gain new perspectives, and move toward the changes you want to see in your life. When we feel truly heard and supported, we can grow into a more authentic version of ourselves.
As a qualified counsellor, I am deeply committed to my clients. My approach is person-centred, humanistic, and existential, meaning I see you as an individual with your own unique story. I don’t see myself as just a therapist—I am a fellow traveller, walking alongside you as you navigate your journey.
I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and taking that first step can be daunting. That’s why I offer an initial telephone consultation, so we can explore how we might work together and ensure you feel comfortable moving forward.
I have experience working in a wide range of mental health settings, supporting people affected by anxiety, depression, trauma, substance and alcohol misuse, relationship challenges, and different forms of abuse. I have also worked closely with veterans with PTSD in residential settings and currently provide short-term counselling within the NHS Talking Therapies service, using a person-centred approach to support individuals experiencing depression and a wide range of mental health concerns.
No matter where you are in your journey, I am here to support you. If you're ready to take the first step, I look forward to speaking with you and helping you move toward a place of healing, growth, and self-discovery.

Member organisations
school 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 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.
