About me
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, even when from the outside everything appears to be holding together. You may find yourself constantly overthinking, feeling anxious, struggling with low self-esteem, experiencing relationship difficulties, or carrying the weight of past experiences that continue to affect your life today.
Perhaps you're feeling stuck in patterns you no longer understand. You might find yourself people-pleasing, struggling with boundaries, worrying about being rejected or abandoned, experiencing panic attacks, low mood, grief, loss, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.
I offer a warm, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what's happening in your life. My aim is to help you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted, while supporting you to make sense of your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at a pace that feels right for you.
As a qualified Person-Centred and Integrative Counsellor, I tailor therapy to the individual sitting in front of me. Every person is unique, and I believe counselling should reflect that. Alongside person-centred therapy, I may draw upon elements of CBT, mindfulness, self-compassion work, psychoeducation, and other therapeutic approaches where appropriate to support your goals.
I work with adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including:
Anxiety and excessive worry
Stress and burnout
Depression and low mood
Low self-esteem and confidence
Relationship difficulties
Betrayal trauma and trust issues
Childhood experiences and attachment wounds
Trauma and abuse
Emotional abuse and domestic abuse
Grief, bereavement and loss
Health anxiety and chronic illness
Life transitions and adjustment difficulties
Panic attacks
Loneliness and isolation
People-pleasing and boundary difficulties
Identity, self-worth and personal growth
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens when we feel safe enough to explore our experiences honestly. Together, we can begin to understand what has shaped you, develop greater self-awareness, strengthen your resilience, and help you move towards a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting, but you don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. I offer an initial consultation at a reduced rate, giving us the opportunity to talk about what brings you to therapy and whether we feel like the right fit to work together.
I currently offer online counselling across the UK.

Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified counsellor with a BA (Hons) in Counselling and Supervision and a Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. Since beginning my training in 2019, I have built a strong foundation in health and social care, working with individuals with autism, learning disabilities/difficulties, physical health conditions, and those receiving palliative care, both within the NHS and private care sectors.
I have since expanded my work into the field of mental health, with experience in acute, chronic, and severe mental health settings. I’ve supported people through a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, substance misuse, and the impacts of trauma and abuse. I also have experience working with issues linked to homelessness, domestic violence, and social disadvantage.
I work from an integrative approach, drawing on different therapeutic models to create a flexible, tailored experience that meets the unique needs of each individual. This means I adapt the way I work to best support you—whether you need space to explore emotions, develop coping strategies, process trauma, or gain greater self-awareness.
My practice is grounded in empathy, respect, and a belief in each person’s capacity for growth and change. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.
As a registered member of the BACP, I adhere to its ethical framework, ensuring confidentiality, safeguarding, and professional integrity. I also engage in regular clinical supervision to maintain safe, reflective, and effective practice.

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.
