About me

Before training as a counsellor, I spent years in marketing and project management — deadlines, people-pleasing, and holding things together while everything actually felt like too much. I recognise that feeling, and I built my counselling practice around it.

I'm a person-centred counsellor working with adults and young people (13+). My approach is gentle but honest, steady and collaborative — I won't direct you or offer quick fixes. Instead, we create space to understand what's going on beneath the surface. I'll highlight potential patterns and explore the feelings around your actions. We'll work to reconnect you with your own resources and resilience 

Areas I support
Trauma of all kinds, abuse recovery, grief, family difficulties, ADHD and neurodiversity, burnout, parenting stress, low self-esteem, as well as anxiety, stress and depression/low mood.

Working with young people
I offer supportive, creative counselling for teenagers (13+), with clear, reassuring communication for parents — helping young people feel understood and heard, as they navigate the challenges of growing up.

How we can work together
In-person, online, or Walk & Talk therapy. However we meet, the space stays calm, respectful, and paced around you.

If you're considering counselling — for yourself or your child — I'm here to help you find your way back to feeling like yourself.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified person-centred counsellor with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.

I have been working with adult clients since 2022 at Number 22 Community Counselling Services, a registered charity, supporting people through a wide range of challenges including stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, domestic abuse, addiction recovery, family issues, divorce acceptance, corporate burnout, health concerns, sexual abuse, and low self-esteem or self-confidence.

In addition, I have undertaken CPCAB-approved training in working with young people, which included creative and play techniques, and am a Lead Counsellor at a secondary school in the Windsor area, supporting teenagers (aged 13+) with emotional and wellbeing issues.

I bring an honest, yet compassionate, non-judgemental, and person-centred approach to every session, tailoring support to meet each client’s individual needs and pace. 

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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 believe good therapy isn't about being told what to think or do — it's about being given room to think and feel without judgement, to be given some insight into potential patterns and actions that you might not be aware of, until your own answers start to become clearer. That's the space I try to create: warm, honest, and unhurried.

Outside of sessions, I keep building on my training — most recently deepening my knowledge of somatic, body-based approaches — because I think good therapists never stop learning, and clients deserve someone who stays genuinely curious about what actually helps.

If you've been putting off reaching out, that's completely normal. Most people feel unsure before a first conversation. You don't need the right words ready, or to know exactly what's wrong — we can work that out together, one step at a time.

Key details

DBS check

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

I aim to be as inclusive as possible, however my practice is based at my private home and the room is not fully step-free. It is not suitable for wheelchair users or those with significant mobility difficulties (but I can offer online therapy instead).
