About me
You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious or emotionally exhausted, struggling in your relationship, or simply finding that life doesn’t feel quite right anymore. Perhaps you’ve spent a long time coping, putting other people first or trying to manage things on your own, and have reached a point where something needs to change.
I am an experienced Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor working with adults and couples in Glemsford and the surrounding area. I offer face-to-face counselling from my private, purpose-built therapy room, as well as telephone sessions.
I work with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, separation and divorce, bereavement, trauma and the impact of past experiences.
I have particular experience working with ADHD, whether diagnosed or suspected, and understand the impact it can have on emotions, confidence, relationships and everyday life. I also work with women and men navigating significant life changes, including menopause, caring responsibilities, changes within relationships and adjusting to different stages of life.
Couples counselling
I work with couples experiencing relationship difficulties including communication problems, recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, intimacy concerns, differences in sexual desire, loss of closeness or uncertainty about the future of their relationship.
Couples therapy isn’t about deciding who is right or wrong. It provides an opportunity for both partners to understand what may be happening within the relationship, recognise patterns that have developed and begin communicating with each other differently.
How I work
As an integrative counsellor, I don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. I tailor therapy to the individual or couple I am working with, drawing on different therapeutic approaches according to what may be most helpful.
We can explore both past experiences and what is happening in your life now, working at a pace that feels manageable. My approach is warm, straightforward and non-judgemental, and my aim is for you to feel able to talk openly about the things that may be difficult to say elsewhere.
I have over ten years’ experience working therapeutically, including five years at The Kernos Centre, a charity receiving GP and NHS referrals, and two years with Women’s Aid supporting women affected by domestic abuse, trauma and complex relationship difficulties.
Taking the first step can feel daunting. If you feel my approach may be right for you, you’re very welcome to get in touch. I’m happy to answer any questions before arranging an initial session, and there is no obligation to continue if you feel we aren’t the right fit.

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.
