About me
Hi, I’m an integrative counsellor offering a safe, inclusive space where you can explore your challenges of anxiety, stress, and depression without fear of judgment. My counselling approach is grounded in empathy, lived experience, and a deep respect for everyone.
I can offer Online Counselling as well as in-person, it's really up to you.
A little bit about my background, I was raised and lived in London for over 30 years before moving to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and I am proud of and love both cities.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years in leadership and management mentoring people, building teams, and supporting individuals through times of change and pressure. But it was through introspection and my own healing journey that I realised my true passion was helping people feel seen, heard, and supported especially those who, like me, have had to navigate complex layers of identity, belonging, and systemic challenges.
Now, I work with clients from a variety of backgrounds facing a range of issues, from anxiety, depression, grief and trauma to workplace stress and identity-related challenges. My integrative approach draws on person-centred therapy, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural techniques, always tailored to your needs and unique lived experience. I offer a safe and welcoming space where you can explore your challenges, and wellbeing at your own pace.
I’m also registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and I work in line with their ethical framework something I deeply value and adhere to in all aspects of my practice.
Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, family issues, low self-esteem, bereavement, trauma, workplace stress, or identity-based challenges, and wish to reconnect with your sense of self, I’m here to walk alongside you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a BA (Hons) in Counselling and am currently expanding my expertise with a Master's in Advancing Counselling Practice for Children and Young People.
I volunteered for Cruse Bereavement Support for 2 years during the Covid-19 lockdown, supporting those who needed to navigate their experiences of grief. During my training, I also worked as a Counsellor for Newcastle Carers, who support people with various concerns whilst caring for their loved ones.
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.
