About me

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, stress and addiction, and I have a particular interest in ADHD and neurodivergence. Especially women who have been diagnosed later in life or are wondering if they have ADHD.

A lot of my clients describe feeling as though everyone else was given a rule book for life that they somehow missed out on. They may be struggling with anxiety, imposter syndrome, relationships issues, sleep issues, addiction or simply wondering why things that seem so easy for other people feel so difficult for them.

I'm an integrative counsellor, so I adapt the way I work depending on the person sitting in front of me. The relationship we have matters enormously to me. I want it to feel equal and I try to meet you where you are, rather than expecting you to fit into a particular way of doing therapy.

I’m warm and supportive but I’m also willing to gently challenge you when I think it will be helpful. I’ll always check with you first. I won’t assume I know what you’re thinking or feeling, and I won’t put words in your mouth.

Counselling saved my life, so , I know how important it is to feel that your counsellor actually gets you. That experience has shaped the way I work and the kind of relationship I try to build with my clients.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a BACP Accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor holding a Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling (CPCAB), as well as a Level 6 Certificate in Therapeutic Supervision (CPCAB)

My experience spans private practice, charities, and schools, supporting adults and teenagers (16+) through anxiety, addiction, and the challenges of being a carer.

As a teacher of CPCAB Level 2 and 3 counselling courses, I stay at the forefront of therapeutic practice and the latest industry standards. This academic background ensures my private practice is grounded, professional, and deeply informed.

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.
