About me
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” (Carl Rogers.: 1961). *
Counselling offers a space where acceptance and exploration come hand in hand. It’s a place where you can bring your authentic self, unpack what feels heavy, and move towards a deeper understanding of your thoughts and emotions—without judgment, without rush, with you at the centre of the process.
For some the past has been a journey of loss, grief, abandonment, and a lack of choice in differing who we are and how we want to identify ourselves, in gender, culture, and sexuality. I believe that walking along side you, in whatever life stage you are transitioning through, with empathy and honesty, will enable you to trust yourself and let go of conditional beliefs, and find a sense of your own pathway. Together, we can look at your choices and options, because counselling is about you deciding what’s important for yourself.
As a proud queer trans woman, I am committed to supporting the LGBTQ+ community and beyond, offering therapy that fosters safety, acceptance, and understanding. Research highlights that feeling safe and not judged with a counsellor can be a vital catalyst for courage and personal growth. Drawing from my lived experiences, I aim to provide a warm, non-judgmental space to explore the unique challenges you face and delve into the root of what’s happening for you. My approach is person centred, is grounded in empathy, respect for your individuality, with a dedication to helping trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse people of all ethnicities and sexual orientations.
* This quote is from Carl Rogers’ seminal book “On Becoming a Person: A Therapist’s View of Psychotherapy” (1961). It’s one of his most well-known quotes and reflects the core principle of unconditional positive regard and self-acceptance in person-centered therapy. Rogers believed that true change happens when individuals feel deeply accepted, both by themselves and by others, creating the freedom to grow and evolve.

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).
