About me
I started out by becoming a volunteer crisis counsellor for a charity called SHOUT. Here, I found my passion for helping others and wanted to pursue this as a career, so I began my journey and worked up to becoming a qualified therapeutic counsellor.
While at SHOUT, I have supported people struggling with their mental health from anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, PTSD, trauma, grief, LGBTQ+ issues and many more.
I have also worked in a children's home as a Therapeutic Practitioner, supporting teens who have been through trauma or sexual abuse, aiding them with their mental health, challenging behaviours or self-harm. I also secured a placement throughout my training with a leading charity (Mind) to develop my skills further. Hence, I understand people from all walks of life and soon began working for them too.
In my counselling practice, I strive to create a safe space for my clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment or criticism. This safe space is essential for fostering trust and building a strong therapeutic relationship with each individual who I work with.
By establishing a safe environment, I aim to empower my clients to open up about their struggles and challenges. This sense of safety allows them to be vulnerable and share their deepest fears and concerns without hesitation. It also encourages them to take risks in exploring new ways of thinking and behaving.
In this safe space, clients are free to express themselves openly and honestly, knowing that they will be met with compassion and understanding. This non-judgmental approach helps them feel validated and supported in their journey towards healing and growth.
Overall, creating a safe space in my counselling practice is not just about providing a physical setting – it is about cultivating an atmosphere of trust, respect, and acceptance. It is through this safe space that true transformation can occur, allowing clients to explore their innermost thoughts and emotions with courage and vulnerability.

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.
