About me
I am a DipHE Gestalt Humanistic Counsellor with over 15 years’ experience, online video call or face to face, I am based Bitterne, Southampton. I offer individual counselling.
Specialising in relationship difficulties, drug and alcohol Issues, anxiety, depression and neurodiversity.
My main areas of expertise are drugs and alcohol addiction Issues, relationship difficulties, relationship abuse, ADHD, anxiety and depression.
Are you having problems with managing your drinking or drug use and things in your life have become unmanageable? Are you finding it difficult to maintain your relationships with important people in your life?
I am a calm, centred, caring counsellor who can provide a safe space for you to talk about your difficulties.
I can help you.
I will work with you to explore your needs and wants in the present, whilst encouraging you to find the tools you need to reach your goals. In order to support this, I focus on Gestalt therapy and Humanistic counselling, which aims to investigate and uncover patterns and beliefs you may have about yourself and learn more regarding your behaviours.
Gestalt counselling helps you understand more about the patterns you play out in your relationships. I can help you understand the relationship you have with yourself and how to have better relationships with important people in your life.
I have worked hard to create an environment that is non-judgmental, warm and supportive, so please do get in touch with any questions or concerns.

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.
