About me
Finding the right counsellor is a personal and important decision. I believe that feeling understood, listened to, and accepted is at the heart of a positive therapeutic relationship. I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about whatever is bringing you to counselling, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
I am an experienced counsellor who has worked with both adults and children, supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting, and I aim to make the process as comfortable and welcoming as possible. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, valued, and able to be yourself.
I support clients experiencing anxiety, loneliness, depression, OCD, ADHD, autism, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, bereavement, trauma, self-harm, addiction, anger management, phobias, exam stress, eating disorders, and challenges relating to identity and sexuality.
A key area of my practice is supporting neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and autism. I understand that many people seek counselling after years of feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or as though they do not quite fit in. I offer a supportive space to explore emotions, relationships, self-esteem, coping strategies, and the impact that being neurodivergent can have on everyday life.
I am also a qualified Understanding Your Eating Practitioner and have specialist experience supporting individuals with eating difficulties and eating disorders. I approach this work with sensitivity and compassion, recognising that eating concerns are often connected with emotions, self-image, life experiences, and the ways we cope with challenges.
Alongside these areas, I have experience supporting clients affected by trauma and domestic abuse, as well as individuals participating in 12-step recovery programmes, including Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Cocaine Anonymous (CA). I understand the importance of providing a safe and supportive environment when exploring difficult experiences.
My approach is integrative, meaning I draw from different therapeutic approaches and tailor our work together to suit your individual needs. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to support you in developing greater self-understanding, confidence, and the tools to navigate life’s challenges.
I am committed to maintaining high professional standards and work within the Ethical Framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Regular supervision supports my ongoing development and ensures my practice remains safe, ethical, and effective.
I offer online video and telephone counselling, providing flexible and accessible support from the comfort of your own home or another space where you feel at ease.
If you are considering counselling, I offer a free initial telephone consultation where we can discuss what you are looking for and whether I may be the right person to support you. Taking the first step can feel difficult, but having someone alongside you can make the journey feel more manageable.

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.
