About me
I am a warm, empathetic, and reliable professional counsellor, dedicated to providing a confidential and non-judgmental space where you can explore and make sense of both past and present struggles.
I work from a pluralistic approach, drawing on a range of psychological methods to suit your individual needs. I understand that you may be feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or a little lost—and that’s okay. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin.
I offer a supportive listening ear and can help you develop the tools and understanding needed to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours at your own pace.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have over 5 years’ experience supporting individuals who have experienced sexual abuse and trauma. I understand the profound impact this can have on daily life, relationships, and overall wellbeing, as well as how exhausting and isolating it can feel.
I am NHS trauma-informed and have also volunteered with Samaritans.
In my work, I bring extensive knowledge and experience in supporting people with PTSD, anxiety, depression, flashbacks, low self-worth, and low self-esteem. I also work with the impact of narcissistic abuse and relational trauma. Alongside this, I integrate inner child work to help clients explore and heal early experiences that may continue to affect their present lives.
I am passionate about working in a neurodiversity-affirming way. I have experience supporting autistic and ADHD clients, recognising and respecting different ways of thinking, feeling, and experiencing the world. My approach is adapted to suit each individual, rather than expecting clients to fit into a rigid model.
LGBTQ+ clients are warmly welcomed—you are safe to be your true, authentic self here. I have worked alongside LGBTQ+ individuals and understand some of the unique challenges and pressures that can arise when navigating identity in a complex world.
Continued Professional Development (CPD):
Autism masking, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), counselling ADHD, counselling autistic clients, self-harm, working with survivors of narcissistic abuse, ecotherapy (walk and talk), inner child work, and other ongoing specialist training.
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.

Further information
Finding the right counsellor can be daunting and difficult, I offer a free 15 minute consultation appointment over zoom. This give you the opportunity to check if I am the right fit and answer any questions you might have. If you choose to go ahead we will set up any goals or aims you might have. If you feel I am not the right fit that is ok there is no obligation to continue.
