About me
When you’re navigating identity issues, relationship struggles, or trying to feel more at home in yourself, I know that finding where to start can be overwhelming. In therapy, I help people explore themselves, navigate relationships and life transitions, and make meaningful changes from the inside out. I bring humour, compassion, and curiosity into our sessions, and I’ll always meet you with respect and realness.
My practice is fiercely LGBTQIA+ and neurodiversity affirming, and shaped by a belief in the power of being seen and supported just as you are.
Working with me isn’t about fixing you, because I don’t believe you’re broken (even if you do!). It’s about giving you a space to reconnect with yourself, make sense of what you’re going through, and start building the kind of life you want.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and alongside private practice, I have worked for both the NHS and private agencies.
I have extensive experience in helping clients navigate common mental health problems and identity issues, as well as bereavement and end-of-life counselling.
My area of special interest is in working with those recovering from abuse, religious trauma and cultic or coercive environments.
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.

Additional information
I only work weekly with clients unless we are working towards ending our work or have an existing strong therapeutic foundation.
I offer a free short consultation to every enquiry so we can explore what's been going on for you and how therapy may help. This call also covers my approach as a counsellor and allows you to ask any questions you may have.
