About me
A warm hello.
My approach to counselling is holistic, integrative and person specific — shaped around you and not a one-size-fits-all method. The aim isn’t just a quick fix, but supports you in building lasting and sustainable mental and emotional wellbeing.
In our work together, I draw from a range of psychological theories and therapeutic approaches. This can include CBT, Emotional Freedom Work, mind-body medicine, as appropriate, as well as encompassing insights from newer scientific fields like psychoneuroimmunology and epigenetics. It includes exploring how our mind, body, spirit, and environment are deeply interconnected — and how each of these aspects influences our wellbeing in different ways. This results in you understanding yourself as a whole.
I work with young people, adults, and couples, supporting a wide range of emotional and psychological experiences — from anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem to ADHD, addiction, eating disorders, grief, psychosomatic concerns, and more.
While everyone’s journey is unique, here are some ways our work together can support you:
- Develop tools to shift unhelpful thought patterns
- Explore the deeper roots of your struggles so that any changes you make can be meaningful and lasting
- Begin the process of healing from those difficult emotions and experiences that have continued to negatively affect your life
- Gain resources and strategies that support your wellbeing beyond our time together — so you feel empowered in the long term
A note on Couples Counselling
Every relationship has its own story — made up of shared experiences, challenges, and moments of growth. Couples counselling offers a space for both partners to pause, listen, reflect, and be heard. With me as an objective and supportive presence in the room, it becomes easier to explore thoughts and feelings that might otherwise feel too difficult to express.
In our work together, we will look at:
- How the relationship has been experienced in the past
- What has brought you both to this point
- What may have shifted or changed along the way
Values like respect, honesty, and curiosity help make this work meaningful — for both individuals, and the relationship as a whole.
Where and how I work
I offer sessions both online and in-person (in Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon), on a weekly or bi-weekly basis — whether you’re looking for short-term support or a longer-term space to grow.
If you’re curious about how we might work together, I always welcome a quick chat.

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.
