About me

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, as well as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, emotional challenges and life changes. You may feel overwhelmed, low, disconnected or unsure how to move forward. I offer a warm, compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and understood.

Drawing on person-centred therapy and additional approaches I tailor support to your experiences, needs, goals, helping you make sense of what you've been through, developing self-compassion and move forward with greater confidence

I specialise in supporting adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, complex trauma, as well as self-esteem, relationship and emotional difficulties.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
