About me
My core training is person-centred therapy, which emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the client’s own inner resources for healing. As a person-centred counsellor, my approach to therapy is centred around the belief that each individual has the capacity for self-growth and healing. I also bring a mindfulness-based approach to my work with clients.
My aim is to create a safe and collaborative space for you to bring whatever is troubling you. Through this process of sharing your thoughts and feelings, you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences, leading to increased self-awareness and personal growth.
I am passionate about the approach that I use, and I love the challenge of my work with clients. I choose to work in a person-centred way because it is a deeply respectful and effective approach to therapy.
To get started, just send me an email or give me a call (07557 871103) to book a therapy session.
In that first session, we'll meet to discuss what brings you to therapy, address any questions or concerns you might have, and see whether it feels right for us to work together.
I'm a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) providing short- and long-term therapy from The Practice Rooms in central Norwich, as well as online.

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.
