About me
If you're experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loneliness, or simply feeling overwhelmed, please know you’re not alone. Facing these emotions can be tough, but change is possible, and taking that first step toward support is an act of courage.
In my work, I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore what truly matters to you. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a focus on your unique experiences and goals. Confidentiality and ethical integrity are fundamental to our work together, allowing you to feel secure as we collaborate at a pace that feels right for you.
Our sessions will take place online via Zoom, providing you with flexibility and the comfort of a familiar space.
If you’re ready to embark on a journey toward greater self-awareness and well-being, I’m here to support you. Get in touch and I'll arrange a brief, free, no-obligation Zoom call so that we can introduce ourselves and explore how we might work together toward meaningful change. I look forward to hearing from you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP-accredited counsellor with a Level 4 Diploma in Integrative Counselling as my core qualification. Beyond this foundation, I am committed to ongoing professional development to provide tailored, compassionate support for each client’s unique journey.
In addition to my core training, I have pursued specialised areas of study to deepen my understanding and skills:
Bereavement Counselling: Trained to offer sensitive support for those navigating grief and the complex emotions of loss.
Anxiety and Depression: Experienced in helping clients manage and heal from anxiety and depression, incorporating practical coping strategies.
Trauma Counselling: Skilled in supporting clients as they work through past traumatic experiences and build resilience.
Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation: Knowledgeable in mindfulness practices and emotional regulation strategies for clients seeking balance.
Social Anxiety: Focused on empowering clients to boost their social confidence and overcome social anxiety.
Imposter Syndrome: Helping clients move beyond self-doubt and recognise their achievements with a sense of self-worth.
Low Self-Esteem: Dedicated to supporting clients in building healthier self-esteem and a stronger sense of self.
My dedication to ongoing learning and professional growth means I bring a comprehensive, individualised approach to each session, supporting you in ways that respect your unique experiences and goals.
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.
