About me

I am a safe pair of hands, an experienced relationship counsellor  who specialises in helping couples and individuals who are struggling to understand themselves and navigate relationships in their life.  My goal is to help clients see themselves and others with a clearer lens helping them to improve  relationship/s with improved intimacy and understanding.  I can help you find change with compassion, patience and tailored counselling sessions. 

I offer support within counselling sessions for individuals or couples needing help with anxiety, depression, late diagnosed ADHD, family dynamics (mother/daughter/father/son), amongst other issues.  Whether you prefer face to face from my quiet office in Farnborough or you want the convenience of online sessions, we can work together to develop practical strategies to increase awareness, improve relationships and enhance your overall sense of peace. 

I offer:

  • Couples Counselling
  • Individual Counselling
  • Online Sessions
  • Face to Face Sessions
  • Long term
  • Short term

I work with issues such as:

  • Anxiety
  • Family relationships/dynamics
  • Depression
  • Late diagnosed ADHD
  • Feeling lost
  • Low Self Esteem
  • Trauma

Alongside my degrees I hold post qualification Certificates in Couples Counselling.

I explore issues and past events with you to gain awareness and find the tools to gain some sense of control over your life. I will support you by taking the time to get to really know you and your relationship/s.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
