About me
We're all trying to make sense of something!
Whether that's a difficult relationship, a painful loss, anxiety that won't go away, experiences from the past that still affect you today, or simply a feeling that life isn't quite how you want it to be.
I believe that every person has a story, and often the things we struggle with make more sense when we have the space to explore that story with curiosity, compassion and honesty.
There are no fancy words here and no expectations to be anything other than yourself.
My role isn't to judge, analyse or tell you what to do. Instead, I offer a warm, supportive space where we can work together to understand what is happening for you, explore what may be keeping you stuck, and help you move towards the life you want to live.
I am an Integrative Therapist, which means I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches and tailor therapy to your individual needs. I work with adults, couples and trainee counsellors, offering both short-term and longer-term therapy.
Over the years I have worked with people experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, stress, and many of the challenges that come with being human.
What matters most to me isn't fitting you into a particular model or giving you a label.
It's getting to know you.
What Working With Me Feels Like
Clients often tell me they feel able to talk openly without fear of judgement.
I aim to offer a therapeutic relationship that is genuine, collaborative and grounded in trust.
Therapy doesn't have to be about "fixing what is wrong with you" instead it can be about understanding yourself more deeply, recognising your strengths and your challenges and finding a way forward that feels right for you.
Taking The First Step
Finding the right therapist is important.
If you're considering counselling, I understand that making contact can feel daunting. You're welcome to get in touch for an initial conversation so we can discuss what you're looking for and whether I might be the right fit for you.

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.
