About me
I specialise in couples therapy with the focus on creating loving and connected relationships. Sessions are solutions focused with an emphasis on what you can actually do week by week to improve your situation.
We look at what it is that makes a relationship thrive and how couples can live together harmoniously with both parties getting their needs met. Relationships require work and attention on a regular basis and when this slips, the connection suffers. I am here to help you get back on track, to discover what needs working on and to help you both see each others perspectives.
Please get in touch, I have availability currently.
I also really love to work with individuals and with many years of experience I have helped clients with a number of issues. These issues include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, focus and direction, meaning of life, divorce or separation, menopause, domestic abuse to name but a few.
I view every human experience as unique and it is my aim as your therapist, to view your life through your eyes and to feel what you feel. I will journey alongside you, as you discover your own innate wisdom.
I welcome you as you are and look forward to meeting you.
How to get started with counselling
We begin by having an initial conversation, either on the phone or a video call, whatever suits you. This is usually around half an hour, is free of charge and with no further obligation. It is a chance for us to engage with each other and to chat about your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve. I will also answer any of your questions or concerns. This initial consultation offers us the space to get to know each other before you embark upon your healing journey with me, if that is what you choose to do.
Our sessions are a collaboration and a relationship whereby we work together at your pace to meet your specific goals. My aim for you is that you begin to feel a sense of empowerment, develop self-awareness and live a more satisfying and confident life.

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.
