About me
I am an integrative counsellor working face to face and online with adults, adolescents, and couples. I support people experiencing anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, stress, self-harm, trauma, family issues, and relationship difficulties, including domestic abuse. I also work with clients navigating significant life changes such as becoming a new parent, divorce, and bereavement.
Whatever brings you to therapy, my intention is that you leave with a strong sense of who are, what you want from your life, and the confidence to move towards it. I want you to feel that the life you are leading is the one that you have chosen, rather than the one that has simply happened to you. Therapy can help you recognise your resilience, build the strength to face future challenges and develop the confidence to ask for support when you need it.
Clients often describe me as intuitive, honest, kind, and insightful. I aim to create a space where you feel genuinely understood and cared for. Together, we explore new perspectives, strengthen your sense of identity, and find the courage to make meaningful changes. This may mean choosing to end a relationship with care and respect, working towards forgiveness, or finding new ways to move forward.
As an integrative counsellor, I have trained in a range of therapeutic approaches and draw from these to tailor our work to your individual needs. No two people are the same, and I believe therapy should reflect that.
The values that guide both my life and my work are respect, integrity, authenticity, care, and commitment. Humour also has its place in the therapy room, when appropriate - because growth and depth can exist alongside warmth and humanity.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy as well as a Diploma in Clinical Supervision. I also hold qualifications to work with Children and Young People as well as Couples.
I work in Private Practice with my clients either face to face or online.
I am an Ambassador for the Foundation of Infant Loss having completed their specialist training in baby loss and as a Rainbow Baby specialist making me one of their accredited therapists.
I have previously worked with the bereavement counselling team at The Hospice in the Weald and with a local Community Counselling Service. I have also worked as a School Counsellor offering counselling to children in both Primary and Secondary schools.
Given my work prior to becoming a therapist, I have a particular interest in working with Emergency First Responders.
My registration with the BACP includes membership of its children, young people and families list.
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.
