About me
** Face to face sessions are now available from Monday 17th November 2025 in my new garden counselling room. Online sessions are also available. I'd be delighted to hear from you!
You're looking for someone to hear you out, take you seriously, listen to what you have to say, especially now when it feels exhausting, confusing, worrying or overwhelming. Lots of us are stressed at what is going on in the world currently; other things that help us to feel better such as doomscrolling, Netflix bingeing, a night in the pub, long lies are quick fixes. Counselling takes the time it takes but with regular sessions you can gain new perspective.
Training, qualifications & experience
Diploma in Counselling and Human Relations (PgDip)
I am a registered member of the BACP and abide by their code of ethics.
PGCE (Secondary) and BA (Hons)
Since qualifying in 2018 I have worked with clients in different charities as well as in private practice. During Covid times I adapted to online ways of working therapeutically.
Before this I spent several years working as a college tutor in modern languages, also an English language assistant in a university in northern Spain.
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.

Still wondering how this all works?
You can message me, call me or email me and we'll find a date and time for an initial session- these are best done in person in my garden counselling room. If you'd like to try sessions online after this first meeting then we can give that a go! These can be really handy especially if your week is very busy.
We can have a chat about what you'd like counselling for, we go over the contract and I ask you some questions about you, your everyday life, your family, hobbies/interests, basically I take a history.
After this you can decide whether you would like to continue with me and have some sessions- it's really important that you feel comfortable enough and feel we could work together. I'm pretty chatty and informal in approach and won't just listen during our time together.
It's totally natural to feel nervous about coming along- I know how this feels having been a client myself!- but I understand and we can take things slowly and at a pace that works for you.
