About me

I believe we all deserve to feel truly heard, and that sometimes the smallest moments of connection can make the biggest difference. I’m a warm, approachable, person-centred counsellor offering a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your feelings at your own pace.

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent eight years as a funeral director, supporting people through bereavement and loss. This experience gave me a deep understanding of grief in all its forms and the importance of having somewhere safe to express difficult emotions.

I have specialist training and experience in supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community and those who have experienced domestic or sexual violence. I also work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, and other challenges in life, always meeting each person with empathy, respect, and care

How I Work
I offer one-to-one counselling sessions for adults (18+) both online and face-to-face, creating a supportive space to talk openly without fear of judgement.

I also offer a free 15-minute call so we can see if we feel like a good fit before starting our work together. Please feel free to send an introductory email and we can arrange a call at a time that suits you. 

What to expect from our first session

Our first meeting will be during a free 15 minute introductory call. This will allow space to share what brings you to therapy, any questions or concerns you might have and to decide whether it feels comfortable for us to work together. Once we have booked our first session we will talk through our contracts and decide the best way for us to work together moving forward. We will spend time getting to know each other and establishing a warm, confidential and therapeutic space together.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
