About me
Maybe you feel like your life hasn't really started yet. Like anxiety or low self-esteem is holding you back from your true self. You might be living for everyone else and getting tired of it, or just can't quite put your finger on what you want to change.
It may be a number of things, including major life challenges such as loss, infertility, motherhood, and divorce. Whatever it is, you don't need to have all the answers. You just need a space safe enough to start exploring what's going on underneath to be able to move forward one step at a time.
My core approach is person-centered, as I believe a genuine, therapeutic relationship is essential for the process to be effective. We can work together at your own pace without judgement. It's a space for you to be heard, seen, and understood at a deeper level and gently challenged to explore repeated, unhealthy patterns.
I currently offer online sessions that last 50 minutes. I can work with a wide range of issues; however, I mostly work with anxiety in women, infertility, motherhood, and divorce, as clients often want someone who truly understands the complexities around these life issue/events.
For more information/ free 15-minute consultation. Feel free to get in touch.
Even if I'm not the right fit for you, I can help you find someone who is.

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.
