About me

About me
I hold a BA in Integrative Counselling, and am licensed in the UK with over 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & parenting issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. It can take courage to seek out help and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

For some people it can feel scary taking the step to accept support from another unknown person, for others it can be a relief to talk to someone who has no agenda, and is simply, completely there for you.
I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor. This means that I work alongside you in a holistic way, fitting various counselling frameworks to your needs. I take into account your journey to where you are now and the bigger picture of what early life, social and systemic pressures have influenced and affected you.
How would it be to expand your understanding of yourself, and your place in the world? How would it feel to start unwinding the reasons you feel the way you do?
Often you can uncover and realise extraordinary things that may have seemed trivial or inconsequential, which will help make sense of your reactions, decisions, and life journey so far. Giving you an opportunity to see yourself and others in a different light.
I work in a relational, attachment based way. I have a grounding in IFS framework and strongly believe that a good therapeutic relationship is a great foundation for you to start to explore the difficulties you are facing at the moment.
I can offer you new ways to support yourself and rebalance from traumatic and distressing memories and patterns, with an emphasis on self-care and a move to feeling empowered and more in control.
You have the ability to help yourself. I can compassionately, non judgementally support you to do that.
I have the experience of counselling as a client, and appreciate the space it gives me to rethink. I value the positive changes it continues to have in my life.
Here are just a few of the issues I work with:
Anxiety and panic
Depression
Relationship issues
Childhood issues
Emotional, physical and sexual abuse
Self-harm

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
Accredited Register Scheme

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).
