About me
Are you used to maintaining an "I'm OK" image while secretly struggling to hold it all together? If life, unexpected changes, or painful events are taking their toll, leaving you feeling anxious, angry, or isolated, you do not have to carry it alone.
I specialise in helping you navigate these heavy feelings, providing a safe, confidential space where you can let down your guard. Together, we will work at your pace to process what has happened and find a meaningful way forward for YOU.
How I Can Help You
Clients often come to see me when they are experiencing a real sense of loss or disconnect. I offer dedicated support for:
- Bereavement & Grief: Navigating the painful, messy, and complex reality of losing a loved one.
- Relationship & Family Strain: Processing breakdowns, communication issues, or feeling completely unheard.
- Experiential Loss & Life Changes: Managing a loss of identity, retirement, or sudden life transitions, including around health
- Workplace Burnout & Stress: Finding balance when professional life feels completely overwhelming.
Training, qualifications & experience
As an Accredited Member of the BACP, my practice is rooted in empathy and deep professional standards. Alongside my therapy qualifications, my background includes extensive experience working within charities, large corporate businesses, and education as a qualified teacher.
This diverse background means I deeply understand the unique pressures of high-stress corporate environments, academic stress, and perfectionism. I bring this practical, real-world understanding into our sessions to help you make sense of your current challenges.
Alongside my private practice, I work extensively with a number of Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) as an affiliate counsellor and a Critical Incident Responder, providing rapid trauma and crisis interventions for various organisations facing sudden workplace upheaval. My current clinical background also includes dedicated work with local charities, including supporting those affected by cancer through The Big C, and providing specialised mental health support for rural and agricultural communities through YANA. This diverse experience means that whether you are navigating workplace burnout, deep personal loss, or a sudden life crisis, you are in highly experienced, steady hands.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.

Your First Step: What to Expect Next
Taking the first step can feel daunting, so I make the process as straightforward and low-pressure as possible:
- Get in Touch: Click the ‘Email me’ button on this profile, or text me directly to request a chat.
- Free Consultation: We will arrange a free, informal 15-minute phone conversation. This lets us discuss what you are hoping to get from therapy, with absolutely no obligation to book.
- Your Sessions: If you decide to move forward, we can meet in the way that suits you best: In-Person at my fully accessible Norwich office (NR6 with free parking), online via Zoom, or over the Telephone.
You do not need to have all the answers right now, or even know exactly how to phrase what is wrong. Just reach out, and we can figure it out together.
