About me
I believe no two people experience life in the same way, so no two therapeutic journeys are the same. Everyone brings their own story, experiences, and hopes for the future, and together we create a way of working that feels right for you.
Whether we meet at The Bakehouse, online, in your own home, or outdoors through Walk and Talk Therapy, my aim is to offer a space where you feel genuinely welcome, accepted and safe. From the moment you begin your journey, I hope you'll find a calm environment where there is no judgement or pressure to be anything other than yourself.
At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I won't tell you how to live your life or try to fix your problems. Instead, I'll walk alongside you with warmth, curiosity and compassion, supporting you as you explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Sometimes therapy involves making sense of the past. Sometimes it's about navigating the present or looking towards the future. Often it's a combination of all three. Together, we'll explore whatever feels most important to you, helping you recognise your own strengths, build resilience and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.
Whether you're seeking support for a specific challenge or looking for a longer therapeutic journey, I offer a confidential and compassionate space where I hope you feel truly heard, understood and accepted. My role is to support you in finding your own way forward, with greater confidence, self-awareness and the belief that meaningful change is possible.
Sometimes the bravest thing we do is simply begin.

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.
