About me
As a dedicated and empathetic Integrative counsellor, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve their goals. I hold a Master's degree in Trauma-informed practice and a BA Honours degree in Integrative Counselling practice. I am a registered member of the BACP and an accredited member of NCPS. My approach to counselling is grounded in empathy, active listening, and a genuine commitment to each client's well-being. I believe in fostering a collaborative and non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions, set goals, and make positive changes.
Throughout my career, I have honed a diverse skill set to provide clients with a comprehensive and personalised approach. Areas of expertise include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness/Stress Reduction, Grief and Loss Support, Anxiety and Depression Management, Trauma-Informed Practice, Career/Life Transitions, and Autism/ADHD Informed Practice.
I am here to support you on your journey to healing and self-discovery. Whether seeking guidance for a specific issue or ongoing support, I am committed to helping you achieve a more fulfilling and balanced life. Feel free to reach out to schedule a consultation or to learn more about my counselling services.

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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
