About me
I’m a qualified person-centred and integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, offering a warm, supportive and confidential space where you can talk openly, without judgement or pressure.
Sometimes we can feel overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected from ourselves, even when life may appear fine on the outside. Counselling can provide the space to pause, be heard and make sense of what you’re experiencing.
I support adults and young people with anxiety, stress, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties, trauma, low self-esteem, confidence and life transitions.
I have worked in a secondary school supporting teenagers with their emotional wellbeing, confidence, relationships, school pressures and the challenges of growing up.
I have a particular interest in supporting women through menopause and endometriosis. These experiences can affect much more than physical health, impacting mood, confidence, identity, relationships and how we feel about ourselves. I offer a safe space to explore these changes and their emotional impact.
My approach is compassionate, genuine and centred around you. I won’t tell you what you should do; instead, I’ll work alongside you at your own pace, helping you understand what you’re experiencing and find a way forward that feels right for you.
I offer face to face, online or telephone sessions.

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.

The benefits of reaching out
Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting, but you don’t have to wait until things become unbearable before asking for support. Having a safe space to talk openly can help you feel less alone, make sense of difficult thoughts and emotions, and understand yourself a little better.
Counselling can give you the time and space to step away from the demands of everyday life, explore what may be holding you back and begin to build confidence in yourself and your choices. You don’t need to know exactly what you want from counselling; sometimes, simply having someone listen without judgement is the place to start.
Reaching out isn’t a sign that you’re struggling to cope; it’s a positive step towards looking after yourself.
