About me
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward? Are you anxious, stressed or having difficult emotions taking over? Do you not feel good enough? Do you feel unable to make the changes you want in your life on your own?
Living with anxiety can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and isolating. Whether you’re experiencing constant worry, racing thoughts, panic, low confidence, or difficulty managing everyday situations, you don’t have to face it alone.
If anxiety is affecting your relationships, work, sleep, confidence, or day-to-day life, reaching out for support can be an important first step. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting counselling — we can begin exactly where you are.
As a counsellor, I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can explore what you’re experiencing at your own pace. Together, we can work towards understanding the sources of your anxiety, recognising unhelpful thought patterns, and developing practical coping strategies to help you feel more grounded and in control.
My approach is compassionate and collaborative. I believe counselling should be tailored to you as an individual, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions can provide an opportunity to slow down, make sense of your thoughts and feelings, and build greater confidence in managing life’s challenges.
I help people navigate a wide range of challenges, including trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, workplace issues, low mood, confidence and self-esteem concerns, feelings of detachment from relationships, and finding the courage to pursue the life they truly want. Problems often have deeper roots, and together we can work to identify and address them. Small changes - big impact.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified counsellor having trained with the Counselling & Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body to a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
Outside of my current private practice at a therapy centre, I also work for a registered charity for children and young people, providing counselling and emotional support to allow them to be heard, valued and to essentially help them reach their full potential. I understand that many children are having to navigate challenges such as school pressures, exams, friendships, confidence and self-esteem issues, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and the impact of social media. Children can often be presenting anger, low moods and anxiety amongst many other things. I provide a safe space for them to explore what could be the cause of these emotions. I use different methods of play, exercise and movement, to ease them into opening up and sharing. By using various additions and distractions alongside traditional counselling, I have found it is very beneficial to children to have a less intense approach, helping them open up more and often they don't even realise they are. Together we then work on the small changes that can make a big impact.
My therapy sessions with children and young people are tailored to each individual, recognising that every client is unique and has their own needs. I have experience working with neurodivergent clients across a range of areas, including autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. I also provide home visits allowing the child to have their sessions take place in the comfort of their own home.
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.
