I’m a BACP-registered psychotherapist with over seven years of clinical experience supporting adults, children, young people, and couples.

Training, qualifications & experience
🌿 Professional Background
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in accordance with their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions, ensuring a professional, ethical, and confidential service at all times.
I established my private practice in Hitchin, Hertfordshire in 2019, where I offer counselling and psychotherapy for adults, children, young people, and families. My academic background includes a BSc (Hons) degree in Psychology and a Level 4 Diploma in Person-Centred Therapeutic Counselling.
To ensure my practice remains informed and effective, I engage in regular supervision and ongoing professional development, continually updating my knowledge in areas such as trauma, neurodiversity, anxiety, and attachment.
Before opening my private practice, I worked as a student counsellor with The Bedford College Group, supporting learners across Special Educational Needs (SEN) schools, colleges, and primary and secondary education. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the emotional and social challenges that young people, parents, and educators often face.
I hold full enhanced DBS clearance, allowing me to work safely and responsibly with children, young people, and vulnerable adults.
My combination of academic training, clinical experience, and a warm, person-centred approach enables me to offer therapy that is both professionally grounded and deeply human — providing a space where clients feel heard, valued, and supported.

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.
