About me
If you’ve spent years putting others first, people-pleasing, or questioning yourself after painful relationships, you’re not alone. Therapy can offer you a space to heal and grow in confidence.
Recovering from a painful relationship, whether it was romantic, friendship or that of a family member, can feel like you’ve lost touch with who you are. Perhaps you find that you’re always trying to keep the peace to keep everyone around you happy and, in return, feel like your needs are never being met.
I help women to stop shrinking themselves to fit unhealthy patterns they’ve become used to accepting. I’ll help you to increase your self-worth, confidence, and create healthy boundaries by creating space for deep reflection, healing and change to create shifts throughout your life that will last long after counselling ends.
Therapy can help you to heal and grow in confidence by:
- Helping you to set boundaries and manage other people's expectations so that you can feel less guilt over doing what’s right for you.
- Offering you a space to talk freely and openly so that you feel heard, empowered and safe to share your story.
- Encouraging you to slow down and make more time for you so that you can begin to live a life that isn’t ruled by anxiety.
- Talking through any physical symptoms you might be experiencing (e.g, nightmares, nausea, headaches) so that we can make a plan together and you can start to feel healthier and sleep better.
Therapy with me is warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth. I’ll help you make sense of your experiences, gently challenge old patterns, and learn to treat yourself with the same care and kindness you offer others.
I know what it’s like to heal from difficult relationships, to wonder why you wasn’t good enough, to worry how you will manage on your own because I’ve lived through those fears and so I truly understand how powerful it is to finally choose yourself, to make those brave but scary decisions and to show up for yourself and to do what works for you.
Previous clients I’ve been fortunate enough to support have told me therapy helped them to feel lighter, less stuck, able to say no and to feel more confident and ready to make decisions about their future.
You deserve a life where you feel seen, safe, and free to be fully you.

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.

Further information
I offer a free 15 minute connection call, offering us the chance to see whether we would be a good fit to work together. This call gives you the chance to ask me any questions you might have and to give some brief details about what you hope to get from counselling.
EMAIL COUNSELLING
I’m also able to offer email counselling which works great if the thought of meeting in person, being on camera or speaking over the phone makes you feel uncomfortable. Writing your thoughts and feelings down can be extremely therapeutic and you’re able to keep my responses to reflect on in your own time, rather than in the moment, allowing more time for processing.
Email counselling works well if committing to weekly sessions at set times is difficult perhaps due to work or family life and it can be helpful if you’re living with chronic illness as I understand showing up for counselling at set times each week or even each fortnight simply isn’t always doable. Email counselling takes this pressure away while still giving you access to the emotional support you need.
If you’re interested in hearing more about my email counselling services, please get in touch.
