About me
My aim is to provide a warm and welcoming, confidential and comfortable space for Adults and Children (11yrs - 18yrs) to safely explore issues that are causing difficulties or distress.
I offer both long term and short term sessions and have experience in working with a broad range of issues such as:-
Anxiety
Depression and Low Mood
Trauma and Abuse
Sexual Violence
Loss and Bereavement
I am passionate about inclusivity and I have extensive experience and understanding in working with neurodivergence, especially Autism and ADHD
Training, qualifications & experience
My training is psychodynamic which involves the linking of our past and present, although experience and further training enables me to also work in the 'here and now' with a more solution focussed approach.
I am also qualified to work with Young People (aged 11-18) and have also undertaken additional training in working with Autism.
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.

Further information
It is so important for you to feel comfortable and safe with the counsellor you work with and so I offer a free 30 min initial appointment so that we can discuss your hopes for counselling. I work with adults and young people and offer in person sessions at my practice, and online video sessions also.
