About me
I am an integrative counsellor with experience supporting young people and adults through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. I understand that reaching out for counselling can sometimes feel daunting, so I aim to offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can feel comfortable talking openly and at your own pace.
I work using a holistic, whole-person approach, recognising the connection between emotional wellbeing, physical wellbeing, and the wider experiences that shape us. As every person is unique, I tailor my approach to your individual needs, drawing on different ways of working depending on what feels most helpful for you. My aim is to help you feel heard, understood, and better able to navigate the difficulties you may be facing.
About How I Work
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and flexible. I work with what you bring in the moment, while also gently exploring the experiences and patterns that may sit beneath the surface. Some clients come to counselling with a specific issue they would like support with, while others are looking for a deeper space for reflection and personal growth. We can work together in a way that feels right for you.
Sessions are 60 minutes and can be offered on either a short-term or longer-term basis, depending on your needs. I believe that feeling safe and comfortable within the therapeutic relationship is an important part of counselling, which is why I offer an initial no-obligation session. This gives us the opportunity to meet, talk about what has brought you to counselling, and see whether working together feels right for you.
If you would like to find out more, or are feeling unsure about taking the first step, please feel free to get in touch by phone or email.

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.
