About me
Are you feeling stuck in cycles of self-criticism or low self-worth? Are negative thoughts or anxiety affecting your everyday life? Perhaps you are struggling with food, body image or relationships, feeling overwhelmed or disconnected — or maybe you are a parent worried about changes you have noticed in your child or teenager.
Whatever has brought you here, you do not have to work it out alone.
I am a person-centred counsellor offering online counselling sessions across the UK and face-to-face therapy in Lincoln. I provide a calm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, feel heard and explore whatever may be troubling you at your own pace.
I work with adults, teenagers and children aged 7+ experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including:
- Anxiety, panic attacks, OCD and feelings of overwhelm
- Depression, low mood, stress and emotional exhaustion
- Eating disorders, disordered eating and body image difficulties
- Life transitions, career uncertainty and mid-life changes
- Parenting, family and relationship challenges
- Neurodiversity, emotional regulation and executive functioning difficulties, including support for ADHD and Autism
- Children and young people experiencing anxiety, low confidence, school or friendship worries, emotional regulation difficulties, body image concerns or difficulties around food
If you are looking for support for your child...
You may be here because you have noticed that your child does not seem quite themselves, or because worry, low confidence, big emotions, school difficulties, friendships, food or body image are beginning to affect everyday life.
Children and young people do not always have the words to explain what is happening for them. Sometimes worries can show themselves through tummy aches, feeling sick, behavioural changes, eating difficulties, difficulty sleeping, becoming withdrawn, needing lots of reassurance, avoiding situations or becoming more emotional than usual.
I offer counselling for children aged 7+ and teenagers, providing a safe and supportive space where they can explore what they are feeling at their own pace. Depending on their age and individual needs, sessions may include talking alongside drawing, games, creative activities and practical tools to help them understand their emotions, build confidence and develop ways of coping.
For younger clients, I will also work alongside parents or carers where appropriate, while respecting the child or young person’s confidential therapeutic space. If you are unsure whether counselling would be suitable for your child, you are very welcome to contact me to talk things through.
How I work...
Perhaps you have a clear goal in mind for us to work on, or perhaps you are not sure. Whatever has brought you here — anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, loss, low self-worth, burnout or a sense of feeling stuck — we can work together to understand your experiences in a way that feels safe and manageable.
As a person-centred counsellor, I believe you are the expert in your own life. My role is not to tell you what to think or do, but to support you with empathy, honesty and curiosity as you explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences.
My aim is to help you better understand yourself, build self-awareness and confidence, and develop healthier ways of coping that support your overall wellbeing.
Although my core approach is person-centred, I work integratively, drawing on a range of evidence-based approaches to suit your individual needs. This may involve exploring past experiences and patterns, developing emotional awareness, or using practical tools to support you in the present.
Rather than working from one rigid model, I believe therapy should adapt to the person — because no two people experience life in the same way.

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.
