About me
I offer an open and welcoming space, without any judgement. I know it’s not always easy looking for a counsellor, but when you find the right person, it can really help. If you haven’t found a counsellor that fits yet, please do reach out and we can see if we would like to work together.
My Approach
I believe in counselling as an important aspect of reconnection, healing and support. It is somewhere to feel understood, to learn about different parts of yourself and have space to share outside of everyday life. You may not fully know what you need, and that’s OK, it's often part of the process.
I will respect your pace and know that it’s your story and your path. I believe you can find the answers you need within yourself, and my role is to help you explore and connect more with your life and what works best for you.
This space may be a good fit for those looking to feel more understood and supported in everyday life. I also have experience working with people who are highly sensitive, neurodivergent, and those living with chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia and ME.
Training, qualifications & experience

- Member of the British Associate of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP),
- I offer a professional service and work within the BACP’s ethical framework.
About Sessions
Sessions are 50 minutes and usually take place once a week at a regular time. These can be held in person in Stroud Town Centre, online via Zoom, or over the phone. I believe counselling can be equally helpful, whether in person or remotely, and I’ll support you in whichever way you would prefer to work.
I also offer a free 30-minute initial session, which is an opportunity to find out a bit more about each other and answer any questions you might have. There’s no obligation to continue sessions afterwards.
You can contact me by email, phone, via my website, or by booking an intro call at the top of the page. I look forward to hearing from you.
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.
