About me
Making the decision to come to therapy can be daunting. I want to support you to feel that therapy is right for you. Offering a bespoke, non judgmental approach that I hope, and believe, can be transformative.
- Are you looking to make sense of how you're feeling and thinking?
- Do you need a supportive, impartial and jargon free space to talk?
- Has low self esteem, anxiety or feeling low and lost crept up on you?
- Or, do you want to make a change in your life, undo old patterns or explore how a significant event or change has impacted you?
I believe we all have the capacity to change and give ourselves what we need. How we do this will look different for everyone.
I'm a BACP registered Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist, working collaboratively with clients to create the right approach for them.
Meaning sessions may look different for each person I work with. They might be a place to hear yourself say things out loud for the first time, focus on feelings or your body, or just simply be in the room. Right through to action and problem solving focused sessions, and everything in between.
Let's work at the pace and in the way you want to. I work with adults and young people who bring a wide variety of life experiences, issues and stories into the counselling room.
I also specialise in perinatal support with a focus on being trauma informed. My previous work in the NHS was focused on low self-esteem, anxiety, health anxiety, grief and loss, cancer diagnosis, relationship issues and depression.
If you'd like to chat about working together email me and we can arrange a time to have an introductory call about what you are looking for.

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.
