About me
Finding a counsellor can be a daunting task! You may be seeking counselling because you are feeling anxious, depressed, or are experiencing life changes. Perhaps you are struggling with feeling overwhelmed, low self-esteem, or finding belonging, and the coping mechanisms you have used in the past are no longer working for you.
Let's have a chat to see if we're compatible- I offer a free 20 minute call, where I can answer any questions you may have and you can get a sense of who I am and how I work.
I am a qualified Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor and offer online counselling for adults.
I am neurodivergent with ADHD, which I only identified later in life.
I am an LGBTQ+ ally and proud mama of queer kids. I have experience with gender, sex, and relationship diversity, including kink, bdsm and non-monogamous relationships.
I have lived across three continents and have spent over a decade in each one. English is my native language, and I am fluent in Spanish (albeit a bit rusty).
I was raised in a high-demand/control Christian religion, but I have since left.

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.
