About me
When the world feels noisy, overwhelming, or hard to keep up with, I offer calm, supportive counselling that respects how your mind works — helping you make sense of what’s going on, feel steadier and feel less alone with it.
.
I offer a calm, confidential space where you can talk openly without judgement, pressure, or feeling you have to be a certain way. You don’t need to have the right words or know where to start — we can work that out together.
We’ll go at your pace. That might mean making sense of difficult emotions, noticing patterns, finding practical ways to cope, or simply having somewhere to breathe and feel heard.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, neurodivergence (including Autism, ADHD and HSP traits), grief, caring responsibilities, low mood, self-esteem difficulties, relationship issues, burnout and the impact of past experiences.
My approach is person-centred and collaborative, drawing on solution-focused and pluralistic ideas. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all way of doing therapy, so we can explore what works for you — whether that’s practical tools, grounding techniques, space to reflect, or gently working through emotions and experiences.
Therapy isn’t about being told what to do or who you should be. It’s about having support while you begin to understand yourself more, feel steadier and find a way forward that feels right for you.

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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.

Further information
You don’t have to come to counselling with everything figured out.
Maybe your mind never seems to switch off. You might be the person everyone relies on, feel overwhelmed by things others seem to manage easily, or have become so used to holding everything together that you’re not quite sure what you need anymore.
Perhaps you’ve spent years feeling different, masking, overthinking, struggling in relationships or wondering why certain things affect you so deeply. Or maybe life has simply thrown too much at you lately and you don’t quite feel like yourself.
Through my work with Mind, cancer and bereavement charities, Northumbria University and in private practice, I’ve supported people through many different points in their lives. One thing I’ve learned is that counselling doesn’t need to look the same for everyone.
Some days you might need space to talk. Other days we might use practical tools, explore patterns, make sense of emotions or look at what could make things feel a little easier.
You don’t need to mask, explain yourself perfectly or know where to start.
We can start wherever you are.
