About me
Hello and welcome.
Taking the step to seek counselling is a powerful act of self-care, and finding the right person to accompany you on that journey is incredibly important.
As a private practitioner, my approach is firmly rooted in Person-Centred Therapy. This means I believe you are the absolute expert on your own life. You won't find any judgment, hidden agendas, or rigid blueprints here. Instead, my focus is on providing a warm, safe, and deeply confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.
How We Will Work Together
In our sessions, my role is to stand beside you, offering:
* Empathy: Actively listening to truly understand your world from your perspective.
* Unconditional Positive Regard: Accepting you exactly as you are, without judgment or evaluation.
* Congruence: Bringing a genuine, transparent, and human presence to our sessions.
Whether you are navigating a specific life transition, managing anxiety, or simply looking to understand yourself on a deeper level, we will work collaboratively to help you reconnect with your own inner strength and find your way forward.
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." – Carl Rogers
Next Steps
I offer private, one-on-one sessions tailored entirely to your unique needs and rhythm. If you feel we might be a good fit, please feel free to reach out to schedule an initial consultation. There is no obligation—just an opportunity for us to connect and see how we can work together.

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.
