About me
You might be here because life feels heavy, confusing, or simply “not how it should be.” Maybe you’ve lost your sense of direction, feel overwhelmed by emotions, or you’re carrying experiences that still affect you more than you’d like. Whatever has brought you to this point, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
I’m a compassionate, people‑centred counsellor who offers a space where you can feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. I work with young people and adults experiencing Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Low Mood, Depression, Anger, Addiction, and those difficult moments when you can’t quite make sense of how you’re feeling.
My approach is warm, down‑to‑earth, and grounded in empathy. I combine humanistic counselling with CBT to help you understand the patterns behind your thoughts and emotions, and I use mindfulness to support calm, balance, and grounding when life feels overwhelming.
Support for athletes and people in sport
If you’re involved in sport, you may be facing pressures that others don’t always see. I work with athletes who feel stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by expectations—whether you’re recovering from injury, struggling with confidence, managing performance anxiety, or dealing with the emotional impact of setbacks. Together, we create space for you to reconnect with yourself beyond the sport.
What therapy with me feels like
A space where you set the pace
A relationship built on trust, safety, and authenticity
Time to explore what’s happening beneath the surface
Support to understand yourself more deeply and move toward change.

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.

Other areas of counselling I deal with
Alongside my core counselling work, I also offer sport‑focused therapy, supporting athletes and individuals involved in sport who may be experiencing pressure, performance anxiety, loss of confidence, injury‑related challenges or feeling disconnected from themselves. This work provides a grounding space to explore the emotional impact of sport and reconnect with your sense of balance and identity.

Further information
I’m based at the Pavilion in Chichester, a quiet and welcoming space designed to help you feel at ease from the moment you arrive. The building is wheelchair‑friendly, with easy on‑site parking, offering comfort and accessibility for all. I also offer online therapy, giving you the option to connect from home if that feels safer, easier, or more convenient.
Throughout my career, my purpose has been to help people believe in themselves, recognise their strengths, and feel empowered to move forward with confidence. My background in pastoral care, mentoring and relational support has given me years of experience walking alongside individuals through moments of challenge, self‑doubt and change, offering steady, genuine support when life feels overwhelming.
In counselling, I aim to create a warm, grounding space—whether in person or online—where you feel truly heard, accepted and safe to explore your experiences at your own pace. My person‑centred, CBT and mindfulness approach supports you in reconnecting with your strengths, understanding yourself more deeply, and finding clarity in times that feel uncertain. Above all, I offer a calm, compassionate presence so you don’t have to navigate your journey alone.
