PLEASE SEE MY WEBSITE FOR CURRENT AVAILABILITY
I offer a safe space where you can reflect on the learnt messages you have internalised by trying to conform and please the world and others. Together, we will look at who you are, and begin separating yourself from what you have become. Through a neuro-affirmative therapeutic lens, I support recognising and celebrating differences while respecting the complexity of being different in a world that promotes a specific norm. You are the expert on yourself, but you may have lost your voice.
I am an integrative counsellor/psychotherapist; my initial core training was in the person-centred model; however, over the last 18 years, I have gained training and experience in cognitive behaviour therapy, gestalt, inner child work and creative methods. To help understand and challenge internalised messages of 'not being enough', I use psychoeducation and lived experience alongside my natural strengths, such as cognitive understanding and pattern-finding, to help you gain new insights and awareness. It is essential that you find a counsellor that you feel comfortable with, someone you think you can genuinely open up to, and someone who understands you. This is your time and your trust to give to someone.
How do we arrange counselling?
Initially, we will speak on the phone (if comfortable, as I know telephone conversations are not comfortable for everyone) and see if we feel a connection before we then schedule a first meeting and start our time together.
Please refer to my website for a full list of specialist training and career experience.
Training, qualifications & experience
I started my counselling training in 2002 and qualified as a Person-Centred Counsellor in 2007 through the achievement of the Level 4 Diploma. Since then I have continued my studies and am currently a PhD student. I have gained additional qualifications in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Gestalt therapy and Art/ Creative Therapy. All of which qualify me as a talking-focused counsellor, that can integrate different skills, including using creative methods.

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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).

Additional information
I try to keep sessions affordable while respecting my years of experience and level of training. To do this, I offer a sliding-scale fee of between £60 and £80 per session. Which will be reviewed in 2026.
When we agree to work together, I will ask you to select a price you can afford (between £60 and £98), which we will agree on in your contract. This fee will not be questioned; I trust you to pay what you can.
I also have two £30 concession places for low-income households or students.
Reflecting and undoing internalised negative beliefs (ableism) can be long-term work, so I offer weekly, fortnightly, short-term, or even one-off sessions. We will frequently review to ensure you are still benefiting from sessions.
I offer a free 15-minute phone call or an initial 30-minute session (£30).
