About me
Hello & pleased to meet you! Thanks for stopping by...
I offer pluralistic counselling, which means our work is shaped around you. I believe you are the expert in your own life. My role is to offer a supportive, collaborative space where we can explore what's going on in your life and consider different therapeutic approaches. I'll regularly check in about what’s working for you.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, low, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, counselling with me offers a warm, non-judgemental & safe space to talk and be heard.
Finding the right counsellor can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure what kind of support will actually help. My role is to support you using approaches that feel right for you. That might include talking things through, exploring patterns, focusing on practical change, or gently working with emotions, always at a pace that suits you.
Counselling with me is supportive & respectful. You can bring all of yourself. You're welcome here.
If you’re curious about starting counselling or have questions about how we might work together, I'd love to hear from you. I offer a no-fee exploratory phone call to help you decide.

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.

Further information
I have 25 years experience supporting the communication needs of adults with acquired medical conditions within the NHS. My background in healthcare offers a grounding in communication strategies via a range of modalities alongside deep understanding of the impact of changes to our health. I offer support to families navigating sudden medical changes with all of the confusion & emotion this can bring.
