About me

Are you worrying about keeping things together in your life? Do you turn things over and over in your mind trying to make sense of all the pieces of your life and they don't seem to make any sense or fit together any more? Or are you dealing with a family situation that's taking up all your headspace? Maybe you feel overwhelmed by difficulties or are constantly juggling responsibilities with no time for yourself? 

I work with all kinds of people who may be looking for counselling because of:

  • Feeling frazzled and disconnected
  • Troubling family situations
  • Loss and grief 
  • Neurodivergence (whether diagnosed or not)
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Self-esteem

I’m here to help you unpack your situation and explore your response to it, so you can work out how to manage without worrying day by day.   I’ll help you to feel calm so you can handle family conflicts.  I’ll support you as you face your circumstances and decide on your next steps.  I’ll help you rediscover how to be yourself in the face of whatever changes your life is bringing.

How counselling can help
 
The process of therapy helps you to 

·       Recognise your self-worth

·       Have the courage to take the right step at the right time

·       Lay out the pieces of your experience and see the picture become clearer and (at last) make sense

·       Have space to explore and heal from painful experiences

·       Manage stress and build resilience

With seven years of experience providing counselling in schools, I've seen the challenges families face, especially with anxiety, neurodiversity, bereavement, and family strife.  I also have an interest in adult family  strained relationships. 

About me

I became a therapist after experiencing how counselling changed my life. Therapy helped me to move from painful stress to calm. If you would like to work with me I can provide you with the compassionate and supportive environment that will help you to navigate life’s challenges and find a path to healing and growth.

So please email me to book a free no-obligation introductory call to book a session.

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy

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).
