About me
A warm welcome to my profile.
People seek counselling for many different reasons – whether it is to explore the impact of a significant life event, to reflect on past experiences, to look to change current ways of thinking and feeling, or to release some of life’s overwhelming emotions.
Counselling is a place where we can unpack those emotions, get to know ourselves and explore our sense of identity in a confidential, judgement free and safe setting.
How Can I Help?
As a Counsellor, my role is to provide you with a safe space where you can explore whatever it is that brings you to therapy. I am here to listen in a non-judgemental and compassionate environment, to sit beside you as you share and unpick your emotions, and to support you in developing the skills that will help you to improve your own emotional well-being.
My Style of Counselling
As an Integrative Counsellor, I work with skills from three different styles of counselling:
- Person-Centred practice – traditional talking therapy which focuses on client-led exploration
- Psychodynamic practice - exploring the impact of our subconscious on our conscious minds and the impact of our past on our present lives
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - working together to analyse, break down and challenge negative thoughts and behaviour patterns
Being integrative allows me to blend ideas from each model to create a therapeutic style that is as unique as you are.
What Next?
If you would like any information about me or my counselling experience, the way I work, or what to expect from counselling, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will be more than happy to help.
I can offer a free initial consultation of up to 30 minutes, either online or by telephone, where we can explore how counselling may be able to help you and discuss any queries you may have.
I try to respond to all enquiries within two working days.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
