About me
Are you unhappy in your relationships? Is being the one who has to do everything leaving you feeling angry and resentful towards your family/friends/partner? Do you feel depressed, anxious or exhausted from trying to fit in and yet you still feel unseen, unheard and misunderstood?
- Counselling will help you communicate better and improve your relationships.
- Counselling will help you learn to say no to the demands of others without feeling guilty so that you feel calmer, content and more in control of your own life.
- Counselling can be transformative and give you new and different perspectives on your relationships and yourself.
- Counselling will help you build confidence and self-compassion so that you feel valued for who you are rather than what you do and help you to assert your needs enabling you to live a happier and more fulfilling life.
I work with adult clients (18+ years) who feel unhappy in their relationships - whether it's with their partner, family members, friends, work colleagues or even themselves. They are often struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress at work or beginning to suspect they may be neurodivergent. These can be impacting their relationships and vice versa.
As your counsellor, I'll help you to recognise how you currently relate to others and help you to develop more effective ways of communicating. Together we'll look at tools and coping strategies to manage your anxiety and stress to help build your resilience. By exploring your feelings of not being good enough without fear of judgement, you'll develop confidence, assertiveness and learn to value yourself. I'll help you to set boundaries enabling you manage other people's expectations, giving you more time for your relationships and what matters to you, leaving you feeling happier and more fulfilled.
Having navigated complex family dynamics, undiagnosed ADHD, depression, and career changes, I truly understand the challenges many of us face. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood, no matter what you're going through.
If you have not had counselling or therapy before, you may be worrying about not knowing what to say. Having gone through therapy myself, I remember how nervous I felt so I understand. I will gently work together with you to explore what’s brought you to counselling and what your needs are.
You might also be worrying about having to fit yet another thing into your stressful busy week. The good news is that counselling doesn’t have to take a lot of your time. Sessions are just 50 minutes per week and because I offer online counselling sessions through Zoom or over the telephone, this allows you to have the sessions from the comfort of your own home, with no travel time to factor in. I am also able to be more flexible with appointment times for you because I work online.
I am a fully qualified and registered counsellor with the BACP and an accredited member of the NCPS.
Whether it's with family, friends, or colleagues, I’m deeply committed to helping you strengthen the relationships that matter most. With a focus on clear communication, healthy boundaries, and self-awareness, I will help you create lasting, positive change in the way you connect with others—and with yourself.
Thank you for reading this far and if some of what I have said is resonating with you, please get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
