About me
I am a fully qualified counsellor and Registered Member of the BACP, with over three years' experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions.
I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what's troubling you and feel genuinely heard. Together, we can explore your experiences, help you gain greater understanding and work towards meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
As an integrative counsellor, I blend aspects of several theoretical approaches to tailor the counselling to your individual needs. The counselling journey is something that needs respect, patience and understanding, and I strive to ensure these are at the heart of our work together.
My core theoretical model is Humanistic, informed by Person-Centred theory, Gestalt and Existential Philosophy. I integrate aspects from other theoretical approaches to provide therapy that’s bespoke to you. More information on what these mean can be found below under the ‘Therapies offered’ section.
My Fees:
I charge £60 per session, which are 50 minutes long. Concessions are available for students or block booking.
Deciding to start therapy can be a nerve-wracking time, in our first session, I’ll go through the counselling process, confidentiality, and ask what brings you to therapy. From here, we’ll decide what to focus on and how we might approach it. The aim is to help you feel in control of the process – it's your counselling journey, so we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you. About every 6 sessions, we’ll have a review to see how you’re finding the work and if you’d like to focus on something else, take things in a different direction or bring therapy to a close.
There are many reasons someone might seek therapy, for example: anxiety, relationship issues, feeling stuck, lack of fulfilment or meaning, self-esteem, bereavement, infertility, help getting through a rough patch, or feeling overwhelmed during difficult times.
It’s not a space where I’ll tell you what to do, and you can bring whatever you’d like to the sessions. Therapy isn’t rigid, we work together to create an environment and experience that suits your needs.
Currently, I only have availability online. If you’re looking for support now, online counselling can provide a flexible and effective way for us to work together without having to travel.

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.
