About me
I am an Integrative Counsellor and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, and an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) — the UK's largest professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. My practice adheres to the BACP's rigorous ethical and professional standards, and I am pleased to welcome clients referred through AXA and Aviva insurance. I also hold an enhanced DBS certificate and full professional indemnity insurance.
My professional background spans schools, alternative education settings, and counselling charities, where I have supported both adults and young people — including those with Special Educational Needs — through a wide range of challenges. These include grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, identity concerns, relationship difficulties, and the emotional impact of significant life transitions or adverse childhood experiences.
I draw on a variety of therapeutic modalities — including Psychodynamic Therapy, Humanistic approaches, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy — adapting my approach to suit each client's unique needs, experiences, and personal goals. Which I use on supporting both adolescents and adults who present with complex mental health needs, including complex trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harm, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), ADHD and autism and the long-term effects of chronic stress.
Above all, I provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop deeper self-understanding, and work towards meaningful and sustainable change. Central to this is building a trusting therapeutic relationship that honours each client's autonomy and supports their own natural growth and positive change.

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.
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).

Further information
I am an Integrative Counsellor and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist offering both short‑term and long‑term therapeutic support, depending on what best suits each individual. My approach draws on a range of modalities, including Person‑Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic principles, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. This allows me to tailor our work together in a way that aligns with your unique circumstances, goals, and lived experiences.
I provide a confidential, non‑judgemental, and compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns at a pace that feels safe for you. My practice is trauma‑informed and sensitive to the diverse challenges people face, including experiences such as childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, identity‑related stress, bereavement, work‑related pressures, and the impact of long‑term or sudden life changes.
Together, we focus on developing insight, strengthening emotional resilience, and supporting your personal growth. Through guided reflection and collaborative exploration, the aim is to help you deepen your understanding of the issues you are facing and move toward meaningful, sustainable change.
