Qualified Counsellor | BACP Member
I am a qualified counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), working in line with their ethical framework to ensure you receive safe, professional, and respectful support at all times.
My core training is in person-centred, humanistic counselling. This means I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is not to judge, diagnose, or direct you, but to walk alongside you - offering a space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely, at your own pace. I engage in regular Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and clinical supervision, continually deepening my knowledge and ensuring my work remains ethical, reflective, and responsive to the needs of each individual I work with.
A Space Where You Can Simply Be
The heart of my work is the relationship we build together. Feeling safe, comfortable, and accepted is essential in counselling, and I prioritise creating an environment where you can talk openly about whatever is on your mind - even the things that feel difficult, confusing, or hard to say out loud.
Many adults I work with are used to holding things together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, confused, or exhausted on the inside. In our sessions, you don’t need to mask, explain yourself perfectly, or have everything make sense. We go at your pace, follow what feels most important to you, and work in a way that feels manageable rather than overwhelming.
The relationship we build is at the heart of the work. Feeling safe, accepted, and not judged can make it easier to explore the things you may never have been able to say before.
Neurodivergent-Affirming Support
I have a particular interest and experience in working with neurodivergent clients, most commonly those who are Autistic or have ADHD, though not exclusively. I recognise that counselling does not look or feel the same for everyone, and I adapt my approach to suit how you process, communicate, and experience the world.
Whether you are diagnosed, self-identified, or questioning, I take an affirming and holistic approach. Together, we can explore your experiences through a neurodivergent lens, in a supportive and validating space that honours your individuality and supports regulation, rather than trying to change who you are.
Areas I Commonly Work With
Clients come to counselling for many different reasons, and often it is a combination of things rather than one single issue. I have experience supporting people with:
- Neurodivergence
- Relationship difficulties
- Anxiety and depression
- Low self-esteem and self-worth
- Difficulties recognising, expressing, or regulating emotions
- Adverse childhood experiences
- Challenging life events and everyday struggles
Sometimes you may not have a clear reason at all - only a sense of feeling stuck, lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of your direction. Counselling can be a space to understand yourself more deeply, discover what matters to you, and begin to build a life that feels more fulfilling and authentic.
Sessions & Location
I offer face-to-face sessions from a calm and peaceful therapy room in West Malling, as well as online and telephone sessions, giving you flexibility in how you access support.
Finding the Right Fit
I understand how overwhelming it can feel to choose a counsellor. With so many profiles and approaches, it’s hard to know who will feel right for you - and that fit really matters.
That’s why I offer a free initial consultation by phone. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions, get a sense of how I work, and decide whether you feel comfortable moving forward, with no pressure or obligation.

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.
