About me
You might be here because life feels heavy, confusing, overwhelming, or simply not how you want it to be. Perhaps you're struggling with anxiety, feeling stuck in low mood, finding daily life difficult to manage with ADHD, or carrying stress that never seems to switch off. Maybe you've experienced things that continue to affect you, or you've lost sight of who you are beneath the pressures of life. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.
I'm a compassionate, person-centred counsellor who provides a safe, supportive space where you can feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted without judgement. I work with young people and adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, stress, trauma, PTSD, low self-esteem, anger, addiction, and emotional difficulties that can feel hard to put into words.
My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and rooted in empathy. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth and healing when given the right support. I integrate Humanistic Counselling with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. I also draw upon mindfulness techniques to support grounding, emotional regulation, and a greater sense of calm when life feels overwhelming.
Support for Anxiety, ADHD, Depression and Stress
Living with anxiety can feel exhausting, leaving you constantly overthinking, worrying, or expecting the worst. Depression can make even simple tasks feel difficult and leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and others. ADHD often brings challenges with focus, organisation, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and feeling misunderstood. Stress, whether from work, relationships, education, or life circumstances, can leave you feeling overwhelmed and unable to switch off.
Together, we can explore what is happening beneath the surface, develop practical coping strategies, and build a deeper understanding of your experiences. Therapy offers a space to slow down, make sense of your challenges, and find new ways of responding to them with greater confidence and self-compassion.
Support for athletes and people in sport
If you're involved in sport, you may face 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, balancing sporting commitments, or coping with setbacks. Together, we create space for you to reconnect with yourself beyond performance and results.
What therapy with me feels like

• 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 towards positive change
• Practical tools to help manage difficult thoughts, emotions, and life challenges

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 understand that life can be busy, and finding time for therapy isn't always straightforward. That's why I aim to offer flexibility wherever possible, working with you to find appointment times and a way of meeting that best fits your lifestyle, commitments, and personal preferences.
I provide both face-to-face and online counselling sessions. I am based at The Pavilion in Chichester, a welcoming and comfortable space with accessible facilities and convenient on-site parking. For those who prefer the comfort and convenience of their own environment, online sessions are also available, allowing you to access support from wherever feels most comfortable and practical for you.
I believe that therapy should feel accessible and tailored to the individual. Whether you are balancing work, education, family commitments, sporting demands, or simply finding life overwhelming, I will do my best to accommodate your circumstances and create a therapeutic experience that works for you.
Throughout my career, I have been passionate about helping people recognise their strengths, develop self-belief, and navigate life's challenges with greater confidence. My background in pastoral care, mentoring, and relational support has provided me with extensive experience supporting young people and adults through periods of uncertainty, emotional difficulty, change, and personal growth.
My aim is to create a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you feel comfortable being yourself. Whether we meet in person or online, therapy is shaped around your needs, your goals, and your pace. Together, we can explore whatever is bringing you to counselling, helping you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, develop effective coping strategies, and move towards meaningful and lasting change.
Above all, I offer a genuine therapeutic relationship built on trust, acceptance, and empathy, so you never have to face life's challenges alone. You are welcome exactly as you are, and we will work together in a way that feels right for you.
