About me
I’m a humanistic creative counsellor and psychotherapist working with clients online and face-to-face with adults, older adults, and young people. I work with people struggling with anxiety and depression, shame and low self-esteem, imposter syndrome/perfectionism, OCD, stress, trauma, family issues, and relationship problems including domestic abuse, childhood sexual abuse - yours or in the family - and navigating major life changes such as divorce and bereavement.
Clients experience me as warm, gentle, empathetic, and insightful - like they finally have someone they can really talk to. I work to help you process and heal from past traumas and current difficulties with family members and other relationships, develop healthy coping mechanisms for anxiety and depression, build self-compassion and challenge negative self-talk, navigate work/life balance and career advancement, explore and redefine personal identity post-break-up or divorce, developing strategies for effective communication and boundary-setting.
I want you to find your authentic voice and feel confident in using it, to heal from past traumas and build resilience, to create a fulfilling life that aligns with your values and ambitions, and for you to feel you are a positive role model for others.

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
Before becoming a therapist, I coached people to have more fun while learning their needs and desires, and to ask for what they want and need in personal relationships, at work, at home, and in other areas of their lives.
I am a long-term meditator and am moved and inspired by spiritual ideas and practices. I welcome discussions regarding belief, faith, loss of faith, and meaning, as well as your life philosophy.
