About me
After many years working within the NHS supporting physical health, I came to understand just how important it is for people to feel supported emotionally too. Mental and emotional wellbeing are just as important as physical health, yet many people carry their struggles alone for far too long.
You may be considering counselling because life feels overwhelming, emotionally exhausting, or difficult to make sense of right now. Sometimes, we can appear to cope on the outside while struggling internally. Therapy offers a space where you can slow down, feel heard without judgement, and begin to make sense of what you’re experiencing.
I believe that therapy should feel safe, compassionate, and tailored to you. Every person’s experiences are unique, which is why I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to support your individual needs at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
The relationship we build together is at the heart of the process; one based on trust, understanding, and genuine human connection.
Together, we can gently explore the deeper patterns, emotions, or experiences that may be affecting your wellbeing, relationships, or sense of self. While therapy can sometimes feel challenging, you do not have to navigate it alone. My aim is to support you in finding greater clarity, emotional balance, self-understanding, and a more fulfilling relationship with yourself and others.
If this feels like the right step for you, I invite you to get in touch. I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation where we can talk about what has brought you to counselling, answer any questions you may have, and see whether working together feels like a good fit.

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.
