About me
Seeking counselling can feel daunting and overwhelming, especially if you’re used to coping alone or feel unsure about where to start.
I’m a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and I work in a warm, compassionate, non-judgemental way that helps you feel heard and understood.
I have experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma, as well as working with veterans who may be struggling with transition, identity, or the long-term impact of their experiences. I have professional experience working in a mental health crisis house, supporting individuals during periods of acute distress, and in a prison setting supporting people with resettlement challenges and life changes.
Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck or emotionally drained. You may be struggling with intrusive thoughts, low mood, anxiety, past experiences, or simply a sense that something isn’t right.
I aim to build a therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, understood, and accepted. There is no pressure to talk about anything before you are ready, we work together at a pace that feels right for you.
I offer a free 20-minute consultation, so you can ask questions and see if we will be a good fit.

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.
