About me
I am a BACP qualified counsellor and practising social worker, bringing a broad and grounded understanding of people, relationships and life challenges into my counselling work. My professional background supports a thoughtful, ethical and compassionate approach, with a strong commitment to safe practice.
My work is person-centred, meaning I offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space, where you can talk openly and without fear of restriction or pressure. I believe each person is the expert in their own life. I work at your pace, focusing on what feels most important to you.
I am an empathetic, approachable and collaborative therapist, committed to building a genuine therapeutic relationship, based on trust and respect. I value effective listening and seek to understand your experiences from your perspective, helping you feel heard, supported and accepted.
I work in a way that is supportive and effective, encouraging reflection, self-awareness and positive change. My aim is to work alongside you, helping you explore difficulties, recognise strengths and move towards greater clarity and wellbeing.
My practice offers a calm, thoughtful space where clients can pause, reflect and gain insight into their lived experience. I work with the whole person, recognising emotional, psychological, relational and cultural dimensions, and I value each individual as they are.
I am committed to inclusion and welcome clients of all background and protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010. Having awareness of how social context, difference and lived experience shape wellbeing.
My approach is based in understanding, authenticity ,respect and building a trusting relationship . I aim to be real and present in the therapeutic relationship, believing that meaningful change grows from genuine connection.
Together, we work at a pace that feels safe and manageable, developing insight while remaining realistic about what can be achieved in therapy.

I have experience supporting clients of different ages and social backgrounds, and I have worked with a wide range of issues, including substance misuse, women’s issues, identity, self-esteem, loss and bereavement, and life-altering health conditions. I also support individuals with relationship difficulties, divorce and separation, as well as issues involving children of all ages.
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.

Further information
I offer a free telephone call upto 30 minutes which gives you an opportunity to outline your reasons for seeking counselling and to see if we are a good fit.We may briefly explore current difficulties and what you are hoping to gain from therapy.
This will also be an opportunity for me to explain how I work, what I offer and answer any questions you may have. If we both feel comfortable , we can then arrange a first face-to-face session.
First face-to-face the first session provides a calm and supportive space to begin exploring your concerns in more depth. What you would like to work towards, and whether ongoing counselling feels right for you.
Practical Arrangements, payment details will be explained clearly in writing, in advance,before the first session. You will be asked to complete the necessary paperwork, including contact details and a counselling contract. The contract outlines practical matters, such as session length, fees, cancellations and boundaries, helping to create a clear and safe framework for our work together.
