About me
Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to find out more about the counselling service I offer.
Finding the right counsellor to connect with is an important part of your journey, which is why I offer a free, no-obligation introductory session.
Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming and we can feel confused by what to do and where to find the right support. I provide a safe and confidential environment to explore challenges at your own pace, and my approach is warm and collaborative, giving you time to truly feel heard.
As a qualified person-centred counsellor and integrative therapist, the support I offer is carefully tailored to your needs. If you prefer, this can include introducing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques, Mindfulness or other evidence-based strategies, that feel right for you.
You will be at the centre of all the work we do, with the freedom to guide the direction and focus of our sessions. As a registered member of the BACP, I work in-line with the Ethical Framework, hold full practice insurance, and attend regular supervision to ensure a high standard of safe, professional, and ethical counselling practice.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’m trained in person-centred counselling and the cognitive behavioural therapeutic approach. This allows me to work integratively, which means together we find what really supports you and tailor your counselling sessions to your specific needs.
As a client, you will benefit from feeling supported, respected, valued and listened to without judgement. Our sessions will be a confidential and empathetic space for you to feel at ease being your true self, whilst exploring together what you wish to share.
I currently work with adults, young adults, teens, children from age 10 years and hold extended DBS certificates along with private practice insurance. I’ve also provided counselling for charities such as Nottinghamshire Women’s Aid, CASY and Place2Be.
I support adults, teens and children of various ages and presenting complexities of neurodivergence which includes ASC, Autism, ADHD and Dyslexia. If you already have a diagnosis, are awaiting assessment or perhaps are seeking support to learn more, I’d be happy to discuss further how we can work together.
Counselling and Integrative Therapy Qualifications include:
- CPCAB Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Skills.
- CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (BACP Accredited).
- CPCAB Level 5 Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapeutic Skills and Theory.
- CPCAB Level 6 Certificate in Supervision (currently working towards).

(Please note: this is not a full list of qualifications, training and experience, you are welcome to contact me if you would like to learn more).
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.
