About me
I am a warm, thoughtful and experienced counsellor offering both short- and long-term therapy in a calm, confidential setting. I have a conversational practical approach and aim to make you feel safe, understood and genuinely heard as this is often the starting point for meaningful change.
People come to counselling for many different reasons. You may be facing a specific difficulty, navigating a life transition, or simply feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unlike yourself. Sometimes the reasons are clear; at other times there is just a sense that something isn’t quite right. Whatever brings you, you are welcome exactly as you are.No concern is too small or insignificant.
I work with adults (18+) as individuals and couples, offering a calm, confidential space. While I support a wide range of issues, I have particular experience and specialist training in
- Pregnancy, loss, and maternity transitions (for individuals and couples): Navigating miscarriage, baby loss, complex grief, traumatic birth, "rainbow pregnancies," early parenthood, and pre/postnatal support (including return-to-work transitions).
- Bereavement and complex loss: Supporting you through grief at any stage of life.
- Relationship difficulties: Working with individuals and couples on communication, connection, and family/parenting/ blended families/co-parenting challenges.
- Life transitions and workplace challenges: Navigating changing life stages, career crossroads, work-related stress, and ADHD-related challenges.
Alongside standard counselling, I also draw on my background in coaching and business settings, which can be especially helpful for professional or workplace concerns.
Practical details
- Sessions: Face-to-face, online, and hybrid options available (I have completed substantial specialist training for secure online work).

I work with individuals and couples, and can sometimes offer one off sessions. I see adults and young people aged 18 and over.

Training, qualifications & experience
My core training is in Individual Psychology and Adlerian counselling. This is a practical, integrative and creative approach that is collaborative, supportive and empathetic. It focuses on understanding your unique experiences, relationships and goals, and helping you move towards meaningful change.
I tailor my work to each client, drawing on a range of techniques to suit your individual needs. Over the years I have undertaken extensive additional training and incorporate elements of CBT within an integrative framework. I have also completed specialist training in bereavement and baby loss, alongside training in general coaching. This enables me to offer sensitive, informed support around grief and complex loss, while also helping clients think clearly about goals, direction and practical next steps.
I work with both individuals and couples.

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.
