About me
Modern life is built to be fast, instantly gratifying, and anxiety-inducing. If you're feeling overwhelmed, I wouldn't blame you. You might be feeling anxious or burned out by day to day life, or dealing with a big life change such as a new baby, a relationship breakdown, or a job change. Whatever's going on, I can support you to make sense of it and find what matters to you.
Because change, even good change, can leave you feeling unsteady, insecure, and alone.
I specialise in supporting people through exactly this kind of life change, with a particular focus on new and expectant parents navigating the identity shift that comes with this stage. This is a space that's just for you, to figure out what's actually going on underneath the surface, and what you want to do about it.
Therapy with me isn't about me telling you what to do. It's us working together on what matters and what you want to change, whether that's anxiety, anger, uncertainty, grief or just a general sense of not feeling like yourself.
I offer appointments online, by telephone, and face-to-face in York city centre on Monday mornings.
Finding the right therapist matters, so I offer a free 20-minute call first to see whether we click. No pressure.

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.

Further information
Life is busy (and expensive) and so finding regular time to meet with a counsellor may not be feasible. I am committed to working with you to discuss your unique needs, and we can manage our time together around this. Although I always encourage weekly sessions, I understand fortnightly can be more financially feasible. Don't hesitate to get in touch to discuss your needs.
