About me
If you are feeling completely exhausted, running on empty, or struggling to balance life's demands, you are very welcome here.
Do you ever feel numb, detached, or like you're simply going through the motions? Do you spend so much of your energy managing everyone else’s needs while feeling a rising sense of anxiety?
My online practice, Safe Counselling Space, offers a quiet, remote sanctuary to step out of the rush of daily expectations, decompress your nervous system, and finally take off your armor.
Alongside my work as a person-centred counsellor, I have spent over 20 years working in NHS as a paramedic. This unique background allows me to bring deep grounding, steady support, and an understanding of high-stress environments to our work together.
I work entirely at your pace to quiet the guilt, navigate your anxiety, and rebuild your self-trust, helping you move from feeling overwhelmed to finding your own way forward.
Areas I Support
Alongside supporting clients with the quiet battles we carry inside, burnout, low mood, low self-esteem, stress, and major life transitions, my clinical and personal experience has given me deep insight into how chronic health conditions affect daily life and relationships.
I offer specialised support for:
Vestibular Migraines, Migraines & PPPD
Chronic Illness & Invisible Disability
Burnout, High-Stress & Compassion Fatigue
Our sessions provide a dedicated space to process the profound impact these conditions have on your life, reclaim your sense of control, and begin healing.

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.
