About me
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Seeking help is often that brave first step.
Welcome!
I'm deeply passionate about helping people create meaningful change in their lives. Having witnessed the transformative power of counselling firsthand, I'm committed to supporting you on your journey and find a path to well-being.
In our sessions, you'll find a warm, accepting space where you can speak openly about whatever is on your mind. I offer genuine presence, empathetic understanding, and unwavering support as we work together.
Navigating Life's Challenges
Life can present us with many hurdles, and I've worked with clients facing a wide array of challenges, including:
- Depression and low mood
- Anxiety and stress
- Relationship difficulties
- Family conflict
- Work-related stress
- Low self-esteem and confidence
Our Collaborative Work Together
In our collaborative journey, you'll have the opportunity to:
- Explore and process your thoughts and feelings
- Gain clarity and make sense of your experiences
- Develop greater self-awareness and understanding
- Develop practical strategies for managing challenges
- Experience a positive and lasting improvement in your life
I use different therapeutic approaches, including CBT, Gestalt, Person-centered, and Psychodynamic techniques, that resonates with your unique needs, style and preferences.
Getting Started
I offer a complimentary introductory session where we can:
- Discuss what brings you to counselling and what you hope to achieve
- Answer any questions you might have
- Get to know each other and see if we're a good fit.
Convenient Online Support
All sessions are conducted via Zoom or telephone, allowing you to engage in therapy from the comfort and privacy of your chosen space. This flexibility ensures that support is accessible when you need it most.
Ready to Take the First Step?
I welcome your questions and I'm here to support you in taking this important step. Whether you're seeking clarity, relief, support, change or someone to talk to, we can work together to help you move forward with confidence.
Let's begin this journey together. I look forward to connecting with 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.
