About me
If you are looking for a blank screen who just nods and asks "how does that make you feel?", I am probably not the right fit.
Therapy does not have to be clinical, cold, or entirely focused on what is "wrong" with you. I offer a grounded, honest, and collaborative space to untangle whatever is going on in your life. I bring warmth, a healthy dose of humour, and genuine realness into the room, working alongside you to help you rediscover your sense of self.
What We Can Work On...
AI Fatigue: If you are feeling drained by tech overload, anxious about how fast your industry is changing, or just sick of living in an increasingly automated world.
Workplace Burnout: Maybe you have found yourself pushing way past your limit, dealing with constant stress, or feeling like your value is tied entirely to what you produce.
Imposter Syndrome: If you are carrying around the quiet fear that you will eventually be "found out," battling perfectionism, or holding yourself to impossible standards.
Relationship Patterns: Maybe you keep finding yourself stuck in the same frustrating dynamics with others, and you want to finally learn how to set boundaries without the guilt.
Identity Loss: If you have lost track of who you actually are underneath all the roles you play for everyone else, especially after a major life or career shift.
Anxiety: Maybe you are dealing with a mind that will not switch off, physical tension, or the constant feeling that something bad is about to happen.
Depression: If you have found yourself stuck in a low mood, feeling apathetic, or just completely disconnected from the world around you.
Difficult Pasts: Maybe you want a space to make sense of earlier experiences or past events that are still quietly steering your life today.
Grief and Loss: If you are navigating a bereavement, a tough adjustment, or the simple fact that things did not turn out the way you had planned.
My Approach
My approach adapts to you, pulling from a few core frameworks:
Person-Centred Counselling: This is the foundation. You are the expert on your own life, and you will always be fully heard and accepted here without judgment.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): When the noise gets too loud, CBT offers practical, actionable tools for managing immediate anxiety and navigating difficult thought patterns.
Attachment Theory: Sometimes we have to look in the rearview mirror to understand how past relationships and early experiences are driving your current reality.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am committed to ethical and informed counselling. My practice is underpinned by comprehensive training and experience:
I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and am currently completing my Masters at the University of Derby (estimated Sept 2026)
I am a Registered Member of the ACC and a Member (student*) of the BACP, strictly adhering to their ethical frameworks.
I have four years of focused experience as a counsellor. This is supported by over 25 years of broad experience in professional media and community leadership roles, which gives me unique insight into high-pressure work environments and complex life transitions.
Member organisations
The Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions (ACC) is a Christian professional membership organisation for those involved in counselling/psychotherapy and linked professions, i.e. pastoral care, coaching and spiritual direction, in the UK. The organisation is made up of various different membership categories, including Counsellor and Accredited, and requires all members working as counsellors to undertake Continuous Professional Development on a regular basis.
Accredited register membership
