About me
I am a professionally qualified counsellor, trained to work with both adults and children and young people. I believe that people often hold an inner sense of what they need, but life’s challenges can sometimes make it hard to see a way forward. When things feel overwhelming or unclear, having a safe and supportive space to explore your experiences can help you reconnect with that inner wisdom.
Drawing on my professional training—including specialist counselling skills for children and young people—as well as my own lived experience, I support clients with a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, work‑related stress, addiction, childhood trauma, and loss and bereavement. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or for a young person, I offer a warm, accepting and non‑judgemental environment where you can talk openly and work through whatever you may be facing.
My role is not to judge or tell you what to do. Instead, I aim to empower you by offering the time, space and therapeutic relationship needed to understand your feelings, make sense of your experiences, and use that understanding to create meaningful and lasting change.

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).
