About me
Whatever you're going through, you don’t have to face it alone.
I offer a safe, supportive and compassionate space where you can talk openly about what’s happening in your life. Together we can explore the challenges you’re facing and help you make sense of difficult thoughts, feelings or experiences.
I work with adults experiencing issues such as anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, trauma, bereavement, life transitions, and questions around identity or sexuality.
My approach is person centred, which means our sessions are led by you. I believe that each person is unique and that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to listen without judgement and support you in exploring your experiences at your own pace.
Through our work together, the aim is to help you better understand yourself, access your own inner strengths, and feel more empowered to make choices that feel right for you..
If you're considering counselling and would like to see whether we might work well together, please feel free to get in touch.

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.

Subsequent sessions would be 1 hour long with a cost of £45 per session.
I am happy to work on a long or short term basis depending on what you require.
