About me
Feeling stuck, unmotivated, or overwhelmed by anxiety can be difficult, and opening up to someone you don’t know may feel daunting. I aim to offer a warm, accepting, and non-judgemental space where you can explore different aspects of yourself at your own pace.
I believe that talking openly within a supportive therapeutic relationship can increase awareness around the parts of ourselves that feel stuck or unclear. I am a humanistic counsellor and value each person’s uniqueness, adapting the way I work to who you are and what you bring.
Our work together may involve exploring thoughts and feelings, as well as reflecting on past experiences and how these continue to affect you in the present. Together, we can explore ways of helping you feel less overwhelmed and more able to make sense of what is going on for you.
I offer a free 30-minute introductory phone call or online session. This provides an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to counselling, what you are hoping for from therapy, and whether working together feels like the right fit.
I currently offer online counselling only, via secure video or phone sessions.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Diploma and BSc in Humanistic Counselling and am registered with the BACP. Further training on CBT & neurodiversity compliments my therapeutic approach. Alongside my private practice. I have volunteered with a range of counselling organisations, including working for four years in a bereavement setting and with an LGBTQIA+ organisation.
Alongside my counselling practice, I have a background working within the health sector, including in cancer services, which has given me a deeper understanding of the emotional impact of physical health, illness, and life changing diagnoses. My experience within a wellness setting specialising in hormonal and reproductive health has further shaped my understanding of the complex relationship between physical and emotional wellbeing.
I have a particular interest in supporting people navigating hormonal changes, including PMDD, perimenopause and menopause, as well as the emotional challenges that can accompany these transitions.
I also have experience supporting neurodivergent clients, including autistic and ADHD adults, and understand the unique strengths, challenges, and experiences that can come with navigating a world that is not always designed with neurodiversity in mind. My practice is neuro-affirming, collaborative, and tailored to each individual's way of experiencing and engaging with the world.
Alongside this, I am committed to providing an LGBTQ+ affirming space where clients of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and relationship structures feel respected, understood, and able to explore their experiences without judgement. I strive to offer mental health support that is inclusive, compassionate, and responsive to each person's unique lived experience.
I believe everyone deserves to feel seen and accepted for who they are, and I aim to create a therapeutic relationship where clients can explore their experiences safely, at their own pace, and without needing to explain or justify who they are.
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).
