About me

 I care, my passion is to be there for others. I bring an abundance of lived experience, as well as academic qualifications and professional memberships, including BACP, HACP, and BAATN, Counselling Directory as well as Psychology today.
My specialities include anxiety, depression, addiction, domestic abuse, sexual trauma, racism, LGBTQIA+, mental health, and neurodiversity.
I will walk shoulder to shoulder with you through the highs and lows of your journey—helping you to rediscover the answers that already exist within yourself.
I will listen. At times, I may gently challenge your thought processes—always with the utmost respect and care—to help you find clarity and build confidence in your own voice.
Working with you on your journey is an honour and a privilege. Finding the right counsellor is essential for the magic to happen. It may be the road less travelled; but it is so worth it. Empowering you is key!

Please give me a call.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

Please make me aware of any support you may require before attending your first appointment.
