About me
Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and I want you to know that you are truly welcome here.
I’m a qualified counsellor and breathwork coach, registered with the BACP, with additional training in working somatically and therapeutically with trauma. I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental space, both in person and online, where you can come as you are and talk about whatever feels important to you.
There are times in life when things can feel difficult, confusing or overwhelming. You might be experiencing anxiety, low mood, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, or simply a sense that something doesn’t feel quite right. You may know exactly what you want to explore, or you may find it difficult to put into words. Both are welcome.
I also have particular experience supporting people whose lives have been affected by cancer and other life-limiting illnesses, having worked for 18 months as a counsellor with a local charity specialising in this area. This has included supporting people living with a diagnosis, as well as those experiencing bereavement, loss and the wider emotional impact that serious illness can have on our lives and relationships.
My approach is person-centred and integrative, which means that you and your individual experience are at the heart of our work together. I won’t tell you what you should think, feel or do. Instead, I’ll walk alongside you, offering a space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted, while gently exploring whatever is happening for you at a pace that feels right.
I believe our experiences are held not only in our thoughts and memories, but can also be felt within our bodies. Sometimes we may notice tension, heaviness, feeling on edge or disconnected, without always understanding why. Alongside talking, we can gently become curious about these experiences and what your body might be communicating.
This may involve simply noticing what you are feeling in the moment, becoming more aware of your breath or physical sensations, or exploring what helps you feel grounded, settled and more connected to yourself. There is never any expectation to work in this way — it is simply another way we can explore and understand your experience together.
As a breathwork coach, I can also bring gentle breathing practices into our sessions where they feel helpful, supporting you to reconnect with yourself and find ways of feeling more present and settled.
Counselling offers a genuine human relationship where you can feel heard, accepted and supported as you explore who you are, what you have experienced and what you might need moving forward — with compassion, curiosity and without judgement.
You don’t need to know where to begin. We can start wherever you are.
If you feel we might work well together, I offer an initial conversation where we can talk about what has brought you to counselling, how I work and whether I feel like the right therapist for you.

I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their professional code of ethics. I also hold an enhanced DBS certificate for your peace of mind.
Alongside my private practice, I have specialist experience working with a local cancer counselling charity, where I provided counselling to individuals affected by cancer and other life-limiting conditions. In this role, I supported adults facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship difficulties. This experience has deepened my understanding of the emotional impact of illness and life-changing events, allowing me to offer compassionate and tailored support to those navigating difficult times.

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.

Additional information
I offer a free initial call where we can gently explore what brings you to counselling and what you hope to gain from our time together. This conversation is led by you - there’s no pressure, just a chance for you to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. It’s also an opportunity for you to get a sense of how I work and see if we’re the right fit for your healing journey. My goal is to ensure you feel safe, supported, and heard from the very start.
