About me
It can take a lot of courage to ask for support when you’re feeling low, anxious, or when life is throwing challenges your way.
As a qualified experienced counsellor, I offer a calm, compassionate and confidential space to help you untangle your thoughts and feelings away from your everyday life; where you can unburden, and shine fresh light on your difficulties, and navigate periods of change or loss.
We’ll work together creatively to find a focus and approach that works for you, to help you heal, grow and find a way forwards.
Who I work with
I specialise in working with adults and young people (18 years and over) with issues relating to anxiety, low mood, and low self-esteem, or those who’ve experienced difficult life experiences such as abuse or trauma, a bereavement or loss.
Please be aware that I am currently not working with clients who are actively suicidal.
My approach
As an integrative therapist, I draw on various theoretical models in order to tailor an approach to suit you:
- Humanistic / Person-centred therapy - you're the expert on you, so sessions are led by what you bring. I provide empathy, compassion and guidance to support your growth.
- Psychodynamic - drawing out difficult and/or unconscious feelings and patterns of behaviour to enable change. Acknowledging the impact of early relationships on the ways in which we relate to one another.
I also draw inspiration and help you learn coping tools from:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Creative therapies
- Mindfulness
I believe it is important to acknowledge power structures, and intersecting oppressions (such as race, class and sexuality) and their impact on clients' mental health.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

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.
