About me
I know that for many, life is exciting, busy and rewarding. But what when it’s not? When we are bogged down with insecurity, regret or shame? Or something huge happens, like a relationship change or a health diagnosis? When you feel like you’re putting one foot in front of the other, but there’s a different you living in your head? You might be feeling you want to talk about things with someone outside of your family and friends, someone who will listen, not judge, not talk over you about their own stuff, to be a steady, warm reassurance. You might want someone to help you work out how to handle something, better or reframe what’s happened, or just offload it to someone who’ll listen. In any case, you want to feel better, more hopeful and face whatever comes next with confidence.
If you're seeking support for your mental wellbeing, I’m here to help. Together, we can create a space where you feel truly heard and supported, and where you can begin to reclaim your voice, rebuild your confidence, and step into your future with clarity and courage.
To help you get a sense of who I am, I’d describe myself as open, warm, tolerant and kind. I meet everyone with the same grounded outlook, creating a space where you can feel relaxed, understood and safe.
My background spans the military, emergency services and pastoral roles in schools. Throughout all of it, I’ve been drawn to supporting people in crisis or in navigating the aftermath of trauma.
Now as an experienced trauma counsellor, I work with a domestic abuse agency, in schools and with private clients, supporting both adults and children.
I work with an integrative approach which means I have many techniques and frameworks which you can learn to use yourself for your future beyond counselling. Being integrated also means that I use a variety of different tools and modalities to fit your individual needs.
I know what it’s like to have your life shaken by events you can’t control. I am passionate about fostering change and healing, and it’s a privilege to support my clients as they find their way forward.
Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to find out more.
Look after yourself.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have experience of working in the emergency services and schools. I also have special interests in domestic abuse, neurodiversity, PTSD and the menopause and am currently working for a domestic abuse charity.
I am a registered member of the BACP, whose ethical framework I adhere to and hold a Level 4 diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I am trained in integrative counselling, meaning I have a variety of techniques and tools to draw on.
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.
