About me
Are you experiencing challenges such as low self-esteem, low self-worth, lack of confidence, anxiety, depression, or stress? Perhaps you’re overwhelmed by emotions like sadness, anger, fear, distress, or jealousy that feel difficult to manage. You may find it hard to connect with others, leaving you feeling isolated, lonely, or rejected.
You might be facing difficulties in your relationships—whether within your family, at work, or in your intimate life. Experiences such as separation, divorce, or other relational changes can be deeply unsettling and leave you struggling to navigate the uncertainty that comes with them. You may notice yourself becoming tearful, angry, overwhelmed, or feeling helpless, powerless, anxious, or emotionally shut down.
Many of us have learned early in life that certain feelings or needs were not welcomed or accepted by those around us. As a result, we may have learned to suppress or abandon parts of ourselves to adapt and feel safe. This can lead to distress in the form of anxiety, depression, shame, emotional numbing, or a general sense of disconnection.
When we are met with empathy, care, and acceptance, we begin to reconnect with our own needs and emotions. Feeling truly seen and supported by another human being helps us to better accept ourselves. In our work together, I will offer a warm, non-judgemental, and supportive space where we can explore your inner world safely and at your pace.
Together, we will explore your emotional needs—such as safety, love, belonging, expression, excitement, and meaning—so you can begin to meet them more fully and authentically. Through this process, you may begin to feel more empowered, more connected, and more at ease in yourself and your relationships.
About Me
I am a qualified, registered integrative counsellor offering weekly counselling to individual adults and couples on a short-, medium-, or long-term basis. I provide sessions in-person, online, or by telephone to suit your needs.
My approach is integrative and person-centred, which means I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches based on your unique needs and circumstances. I have also completed professional development in polyvagal theory, which informs how I support clients in moving from states of anxiety and shutdown towards greater safety, connection, and emotional regulation.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified person-centred, integrative counsellor, which means that based on your individual circumstances and needs, I can use elements of different approaches to help you explore and cope with your problems. I have also continued with professional development in polyvagal theory that supports you to move from a place of anxiousness to safety and connection.
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.
