About me
As a person centred counsellor based in East Ardsley, Wakefield, I offer more than just a listening ear. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and genuinely supportive, to allow for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, offering empathy, understanding, and acceptance without judgement.
How I can help
Life can be challenging, but it can also be transformed. If you're facing an obstacle that feels too heavy to carry alone, know that real, lasting change is possible. Therapy with me isn't just about talking , it's a refreshing, empowering journey toward clarity, resilience, and self discovery.
Whether you're feeling a little lost, overwhelmed, anxious, or not quite yourself, counselling can give you a safe, confidential space to explore what's going on and why. Sometimes life throws curveballs, and it's ok to ask for support in catching them.
If you're feeling stuck, second-guessing yourself, or simply needing some clarity, counselling can help you gently uncover what might be holding you back, and guide you toward the changes that feel right for you. No pressure, no rush - just support at your own pace.
These are some of the issues I commonly work with, but this is not a full list. You don't need to have a specific "label" for what you're going through. I'm here to support you with whatever you're facing.
- Anxiety & Stress - Managing overwhelming thoughts and finding balance
- Depression & Low Mood - Exploring emotions and rediscovering hope
- Self-Esteem & Confidence - Building self-worth and personal resilience
- Grief & Loss - Providing support through bereavement and major life changes
- Relationship Challenges - Navigating personal, family, workplace difficulties.

- Face-to-face counselling: East Ardsley, Wakefield

What to Expect
I'm not here to hand out quick fixes (spoiler: they rarely work anyway). Therapy is a process, an empowering one that invites self-discovery, growth, and real change. Together, we'll look at unhelpful patterns, explore tough emotions like fear or sadness, and work on building a toolkit that helps you move forward with confidence.
Professional Standards
I'm a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), fully insured, DBS checked, and committed to ongoing professional development through regular supervision and training.
Next Steps
I offer free, no-obligation phone conversation (around 15 minutes) so you can ask any questions and see if we feel like a good fit.
Or if you feel ready to book an initial session, you can either send me an email, call, or message me, whatever feels comfortable for you - I usually reply within 24 hours.

You don't have to go through this alone. I'm here to listen.
Training, qualifications & experience
I know from my own experiences how much difference it makes to have someone really listen and accept you just as you are. That’s what led me to counselling. I wanted to offer others the same kind of support – a down-to-earth, understanding space where you don’t have to pretend or hold things in. My approach is simply about being alongside you, with empathy and care.

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.
