About me
Hello, and welcome. I'm a qualified Person-Centred counsellor offering a calm, confidential space where you can talk openly and be heard, without judgement or pressure.
In my experience, talking therapy provides a powerful opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings, understand how past or present experiences may be affecting you, and begin to make sense of things in your own time.
My approach is non-directive and led by you. I believe in your ability to find your own answers, and I’m here to support you in that process. Whether you're facing a time of change, feeling overwhelmed, or simply want to understand yourself better, we can work together to help you reconnect with your inner resilience and move forward in a way that feels right for you.
My therapy room is a peaceful space where you can step away from the demands of daily life and focus on what matters to you. I also offer online sessions if that feels more comfortable or convenient.

Currently, I am working with young adults in a University setting. Prior to this, I have over 3 years of experience working as a school counsellor offering support to 11 – 16 year olds and as a volunteer counsellor at The Marketplace, Leeds. In my previous role, I worked with young people and their families, understanding offending behaviours.
I have experience with a range of challenges such as bereavement, anxiety, depression, relationships, domestic violence, abuse, and trauma.
I have experience working with parents helping them to understand their child and behaviours to develop a healthier relationship and to provide deeper insight into how to care for them and themselves.
Transitions and changes are particular areas of interest, with any change there is loss and uncertainty. Having a space to process these changes can assist in ongoing developments.
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.
