About me
My core training is in person-centred therapy, which places the therapeutic relationship and your own inner capacity for growth and healing at the heart of the work. I also bring a mindfulness-based approach, supporting you to stay grounded and present as we explore what’s going on.
My aim is to create a safe, collaborative space where you can bring whatever is troubling you. Through this process, many people gain clearer self-understanding, greater awareness, and meaningful 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 to book a therapy session. Alternatively, schedule a free 15-minute introductory call by clicking the link at the top of this page.
In our 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.

Further information
My respect and appreciation for counselling comes from my own experience as a client, trying to learn from the challenges life has thrown my way. I choose to work in a person-centred way because I believe it to be a deeply respectful and effective approach to therapy.
