About me
I offer an integrative approach that brings together therapeutic counselling and coaching, informed by my background in psychology. My aim is to create a thoughtful, supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to understand yourself more deeply. From this place of understanding, motivation for change can grow naturally, helping you move forward in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.
My way of working begins with you—your experiences, your reality, and what it feels like to be you. I invite you to share what’s going on for you, how you experience yourself and others, and what feels meaningful or important in your life.
Rather than arriving with a fixed agenda, we decide together what feels most relevant to focus on in each session. This may change over time, and often becomes clearer as we talk. Some people find that certain themes run through our work, while others gain insight or closure within one or two sessions and move on to what matters most next.
I listen carefully and gently explore with you what your experiences mean, how you think and respond, and how your ways of being serve you—or don’t. A central part of our work is exploring authenticity: what it means for you to live in ways that feel true to who you are.
We may look at internal and external pressures, such as expectations, social norms, and internalised messages, and explore how these influence your choices. Together, we examine whether these still fit for you, and what feels more aligned.
My role is not to direct or fix, but to walk alongside you—supporting deeper self-understanding, meaningful insight, and the freedom to make choices that feel right for you. If change happens, it grows naturally from this process.
We can meet in person, online, or by telephone, choosing together what best fits your circumstances, comfort, and what you’re hoping to gain from our work.
You remain in control of what you share, the pace we move at, and what feels right for you. I offer a respectful, collaborative space where exploration, reflection, and movement can unfold in a way that suits you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, a Master’s degree in Organisational Psychology, alongside advanced training in Coaching and Pluralistic Therapy. I am a registered member of the BACP, BPS, and the Association for Coaching, and I’m committed to ongoing professional development to ensure my work remains thoughtful, ethical, and informed by current understanding in psychology and therapeutic practice.
Alongside my formal training, I have six years’ experience working as a therapeutic counsellor, supporting adults with a broad range of emotional, relational, and psychological concerns. My work has included supporting people through periods of change, stress, loss, identity exploration, relationship difficulties, and challenges linked to self-worth and life direction.
I bring over twelve years’ experience supporting people in a coaching capacity across a wide range of life and work situations. This has involved working with individuals from varied professional backgrounds, life stages, and personal circumstances, supporting them with clarity, confidence, wellbeing, and personal development.
In addition, I have seven years’ experience working as a psychologist in applied settings, where I’ve translated psychological theory into practical, everyday support for both organisations and individuals. This has given me a strong foundation in understanding human behaviour in real-world contexts and in offering support that is both psychologically informed and grounded in lived experience.
Across all of these roles, I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences, and with a wide range of ways of thinking, feeling, and relating. This breadth of experience allows me to meet you as an individual, rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all approach, and to adapt our work in a way that feels respectful, relevant, and supportive of 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.
