About me
I provide professional therapeutic services, both in-person and online, to adults in a soothing and welcoming space in central Norwich. My counselling practice is centred on collaboration, authenticity, transparency, and acceptance. Through our work together, you can gain new insights and perspectives on your experiences, empowering you to move closer to your ideal self.
I have extensive experience supporting individuals across a broad range of issues, including but not limited to:
- The impact of cancer and its treatment on individuals and their families
- Bereavement and loss
- Depression and loneliness
- Family challenges
- Anxiety
- Sexuality and gender identity exploration
- Self-esteem and body image concerns
- Past and present traumas
I also have experience working with adults who have physical disabilities, hearing impairments, and those who are neurodiverse (including ADHD and Autism).
My practice is committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful environment where clients can express their authentic selves without fear of judgment.
What can you expect from the initial phone call? Your first 15–20-minute phone consultation is complimentary. During this time, we’ll discuss your reasons for seeking counselling and explore your expectations, such as whether you’re looking for short-term or long-term support, your previous experience with counselling (if applicable), and your personal goals. I will also take a few moments to explain my approach as a counsellor. At the end of the call, we can decide together if you would like to proceed with booking your first session.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a BSc (Hons) Degree in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling, complemented by an Advanced Certificate in Bereavement and Loss, and a Diploma in Relationship and Couples Counselling.
In addition to my private practice, I served as the Counselling Lead at Big C, the Norfolk Cancer Support Charity. In this role, I managed a personal client caseload while overseeing the organisation's counselling service across Norfolk, including supervising a team of counsellors.
I also deliver training throughout the year to the NHS Wellbeing / Talking Therapies service, focusing on the effects of cancer and therapeutic approaches for working with cancer patients and their families.
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.
