About me
Through my work as a counsellor, I have witnessed how meaningful change can begin when we have a safe space to slow down, be truly heard and explore what is happening beneath the surface. Therapy can help us move from feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected towards greater clarity, freedom and a stronger sense of ourselves.
I offer an empathic, honest and empowering space where you can explore your experiences without judgement. Together, we can begin to understand the patterns, needs and inner conflicts that may be shaping your life and relationships, while exploring the possibilities of creating a life that reflects your dreams, values and deeper sense of purpose.
My practice is rooted in Psychosynthesis, a psycho-spiritual approach that recognises the different aspects of who we are, while also holding our capacity for growth, choice and transformation. I work with people experiencing relationship difficulties, grief and loss, life transitions, low motivation, questions of purpose, or simply a sense that something needs to change but they are not sure how to move forward.
I will meet you where you are and support you in developing a deeper and more compassionate relationship with yourself. As our work unfolds, you may begin to recognise your inner resources, make more conscious choices and reconnect with a sense of meaning, possibility and direction.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Psychosynthesis Counsellor, MBACP, with a Master’s degree in Psychosynthesis Psychology. I am currently training as a psychotherapist and am a trainee member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
I experienced domestic violence during my childhood, became a mother as a teenager, and faced significant health challenges as a young woman. These experiences shaped me deeply, but they also strengthened my determination to create a different life for myself and my family.
Before moving to Grange-over-Sands in 2022, I spent 15 years living and working in London, where I developed a career as a specialist sexual health and HIV nurse. Much of my work involved supporting people through vulnerable and challenging moments of their lives.
Although I had created a life I was proud of and work that I found meaningful, I began to feel that something was missing. I wanted to understand myself more fully and find a greater sense of meaning, purpose and connection.
Psychosynthesis gave me a language and a roadmap for exploring my inner world. It helped me understand the different parts of myself, recognise old patterns and develop greater awareness and agency. Most importantly, it helped me begin to reconnect with a deeper sense of Self.
What began as a personal journey eventually became a vocation. I feel deeply privileged to now accompany others on their own inward journeys, to explore what has shaped them, discover their inner resources and consider what might be possible beyond the patterns that have held them back.
Alongside my counselling and psychotherapy training, yoga and sound have also been important parts of my own journey. I discovered yoga in 2013 and trained as an Akhanda Yoga teacher in London in 2015. I am also a Gong Practitioner and offer yoga and sound healing sessions to small groups in Grange-over-Sands.
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.
