About me
We all have experiences that can be difficult to carry on our own. Sometimes we need space to untangle our thoughts, understand our feelings, or simply be heard without pressure to have everything figured out.
Therapy offers a place to do exactly that.
I am an experienced integrative counsellor working with adults (18+) and couples. I offer a reflective and collaborative space where we can explore whatever is bringing you to therapy, whether that is a specific challenge, a significant life event, difficulties within relationships, or a growing sense that something in your life needs attention.
Alongside my general counselling practice, I have specialist training in fertility counselling and am registered with both BACP and BICA. I have particular experience supporting people through fertility challenges, assisted conception (incluiding donor conception), pregnancy and parenthood, relationship difficulties, loss, and the many transitions that life can bring.
My approach is tailored to the individual or couple sitting in front of me. I am interested in understanding not only the difficulties you are facing, but also the wider context of your life, relationships and experiences. Together, we can make sense of what is happening, deepen understanding, and consider what moving forward might look like for you.
I believe that meaningful change often begins not with finding immediate answers, but with giving ourselves the time and space to ask important questions.
I am a registered member of both the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the British Infertility Counselling Association (BICA).

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Fees
£70.00 - £100.00
Additional information
I suggest an initial free 15-20 min chat on the phone to check what is bringing you to therapy, that I feel I can help and that my availability matches yours.
Following this I offer a reduced rate ‘assessment session’, which offers you the opportunity to find out if I am the right therapist for you and for both of us to decide if we might be able to work effectively together.
Further sessions are charged from:
- £70 individuals* (50 mins)
- £100 couples* (60 mins)
I work almost exclusively online and am therefore able to see you regardless of your location. However, for those in the local area, I am able to offer limited face-to-face sessions from a therapy room in Surbiton but please note that fees for face-to-face sessions will be slightly higher to cover the cost of room hire.
