About me
I offer a calm, confidential space where you can begin to understand yourself more deeply and make sense of what you’re going through.
I work with people who may be experiencing low mood, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, grief or health-related challenges, especially when these begin to impact both the mind and the body.
You might be feeling:
• Overwhelmed by your thoughts or emotions
• Stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand
• Anxious in situations that feel difficult to control
• Physically impacted by stress, tension or ongoing pain
• Disconnected from yourself or your body
Often, these experiences are your mind and body trying to protect you, even if it doesn’t feel helpful right now.
I have a particular interest in the connection between emotional wellbeing and physical symptoms, including how the nervous system responds to stress, anxiety and pain. Together, we can begin to understand these patterns and gently explore new ways of responding.
My approach is humanistic and relational, meaning I offer a non-judgemental, supportive space where you can feel heard and understood.
Alongside talking therapy, I may incorporate somatic awareness, breathwork and creative approaches where appropriate, helping you connect with both your thoughts and your body.
I also have clinical experience supporting individuals through grief and bereavement, offering a space to process loss in a way that feels personal and meaningful to you.
You might be considering counselling if:
• You feel ready to understand yourself on a deeper level
• You’re struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm or physical symptoms linked to stress
• You’re navigating grief or loss
• You’re tired of coping in ways that no longer feel helpful
• You would like a space that is just for you
Over time, counselling can help you feel more grounded, more in control of your emotions and more connected to both your mind and body.
I offer a free 15-minute discovery call where we can talk through what you’re looking for and see if we’re a good fit.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Humanistic Counselling from the University of Chichester. I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and practise in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework. I also hold an Enhanced DBS Certificate for both adults and children, registered on the Update Service.
I have undertaken continued professional development in areas including bereavement, suicidality and safety planning, pregnancy and infant loss and infertility and effective pain management.
I have two years’ clinical and professional experience working within a local hospice, providing bereavement counselling to individuals following the loss of a loved one.
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.
