About me
You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low or stuck. Perhaps you're facing a difficult life event, struggling in a relationship, carrying a loss, or finding that your emotions feel bigger or harder to manage than you would like. You may be noticing familiar patterns repeating themselves, or you may simply know that something doesn't feel right.
Counselling offers an opportunity to pause, reflect and make sense of what is happening. Together, we can explore whatever is bringing you here, helping you to better understand yourself, your experiences and what you need moving forward.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on different approaches depending on your needs and what feels most helpful for you. No two people are the same, so I believe therapy should reflect that. Above all, I aim to create a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, without judgement or pressure.
I work with a range of difficulties including anxiety, overwhelm, low mood, grief, relationship challenges and life transitions. Some clients come to counselling because they are aware that earlier experiences continue to affect them in the present. Others simply know they are struggling but cannot yet put into words why they feel the way they do. Where helpful, we may explore recurring patterns, different parts of yourself, or use imagery to deepen understanding and support change.
It is important to me that my clients know they are the experts in their own lives. I work alongside you with curiosity and compassion, helping you develop insight, strengthen self-awareness and find ways forward that feel meaningful and sustainable.
I am happy to talk through your situation and answer any questions you may have before we decide whether working together feels right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). I work in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework and attend regular clinical supervision to support safe, ethical, thoughtful and collaborative practice.
I have experience working with a wide range of clients and presenting issues across different settings. This includes working with adults referred by their GP within an NHS medical practice, adults accessing counselling privately, and adolescents within a school setting. Working across these different contexts has supported me in adapting my approach and responding sensitively to individual needs, backgrounds, and stages of life.
Before training as a counsellor, I spent over 15 years working in a corporate environment. This experience gives me a strong understanding of the pressures and demands of modern working life, including stress, responsibility, and the impact this can have on wellbeing, identity, and relationships.
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.
