About me
Currently available for daytime online, telephone or in person sessions.
Outdoor (Walking Therapy) sessions also available on Wednesdays in Marlborough.
I am a trauma-informed, integrative counsellor who offers a calming presence. My passion comes from walking alongside someone as they make sense of how they are feeling, learn more about themselves and find an authentic path forward.
I want you to feel safe and supported in our work together as I believe this is the foundation for therapy. The cornerstone of my practice is Humanistic, this means I value you as an individual. In my work, I empower clients to become the version of themselves they want to be.
Who do I work with and what issues can I support?
I work with adult clients, from a diverse range of backgrounds.
I am experienced working with issues including;
- Trauma
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Relationships
- Loss
- Self-esteem
- Abuse
- Stress
How I can support you:
- Working with you to develop a tool kit of practical resources that you can draw on in moments of need
- Providing a unique space in which you feel truly heard and witnessed
- Helping you build greater awareness and connection with your thoughts, emotions and felt senses
- Supporting you in identifying and developing your inner resourcefulness, including the ability to think reflectively
- Offering a playful space in which you build confidence in your ability to connect with and express parts of yourself which may previously have remained hidden.
You will never be asked or expected to share any more than you feel comfortable to, together we will pace our sessions in a way that you continue to feel safe and supported.
Am I the right therapist for you?
I welcome initial contact via text or email and offer a free, without obligation, 20-minute introductory call to allow us both to find out a little more about each other. I believe that the counselling relationship is key to the therapeutic process and so it is important that you feel working together would be a good fit.
Therapy room:
I work from a bright, comfortable room in Old Town, Swindon (23 Bath Road). Close to several car parks or free on street parking (for up to an hour) is available on several nearby roads. Please note that unfortunately, access to the building is not step free.
Online sessions are hosted using the Zoom platform.
Walking Therapy sessions take place in the Marlborough area, following a initial online session to discuss practicalities.

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.
