About me
Are you ready to make some changes in your life so you can feel more at ease and happy?
Perhaps you are not entirely sure what’s wrong, but you do know that you want things to improve and you are looking for a way forward.
I will help you to understand what is going on for you. I will support you to untangle and process difficult experiences, thoughts and feelings that may be stopping you from living the life you would like.
Starting, or even returning to, therapy can feel daunting, but I will be alongside you making sure you feel safe as you take each step. I am a qualified integrative counsellor, with a foundation in Person Centred theory. This means that I believe you have the answers you are looking for within you, you just need the right space and some time to find them. Our sessions will be led by what you would like to talk about, but I have a lot of qualities and tools to help you uncover things and support with whatever comes up for you.
Whilst coming to therapy means that we will be focusing on overcoming challenges, sessions can also be light and fun, and genuinely enjoyable. The intention is that we will form a close therapeutic relationship and it is within this safe and boundaried relationship that therapeutic change flourishes.
The reason I am a counsellor is because I had an amazing counsellor who helped me gain self-understanding, self-compassion and clarity which changed the trajectory of my life. I have experienced first-hand how helpful and valuable having a resource like counselling can be. I encourage you to be brave and take this step!
Drop me an email if you would like to book in a free 15 minute phone call or Teams call, whichever you prefer. We will talk briefly about what you are looking for (and it is okay if you don't know) and I can talk you through the process and you can see if you would like to book in a first session.

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.
