About me

Do you experience waves of sadness, panic, or numbness you can’t explain? Maybe life looks good on paper, but something just feels off. You feel on edge or disconnected from people, struggle to say no, or find small inconveniences trigger big emotions. Burnout might creep in without warning, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and alone.

If that sounds familiar, I want you to know—I get it. You don’t have to go through this alone. Together, we’ll explore where these feelings come from, gently untangle them, and discover tools to help you feel more at peace with yourself, your relationships, and the world around you.

My space comes with zero judgement; I can handle whatever you tell me and you’ll never be forced to talk about anything before you're ready. I’ll listen and help you understand how your nervous-system, mind and body is impacting you. Providing discreet techniques you can use in daily life to feel grounded and calm.

If big life changes feel overwhelming, I’ll be your steady support—like a lighthouse through the fog. And yes, I’ll challenge you sometimes, but only with kindness and care. Think Miss Honey, not Miss Trunchbull!

I believe everyone can change, and there’s always a reason behind tough emotions. Therapy helped me find peace after years of anxiety and depression—I want that for you too. Outside work, I’m with my cat Penny, binging period dramas or anime. If you’re ready to feel lighter, more understood, and in control, I’d love to support you on your journey.

Member organisations

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

  • When you are available

We'll arrange our first meeting and off we go! Prefer to chat first? I offer free 20 minute intro zoom calls. 

We'll both review if I'm right for you. If I think you can get better support elsewhere, I'll be open about this and offer other great resources/colleagues that I think you'd benefit from. Or if you need time to decide, that's okay! I'll send a check in text or email in two days time.

If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
