About me
Have you been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and/or depressed? Perhaps you’re feeling stuck, or trapped by the past? Could this be coming from a place of trauma, bereavement and or relationship issues? Maybe you’re feeling that your self-esteem and confidence is low? Whatever it is that brings you here, it can be difficult to reach out and take the first steps when you need support. We are all individual, unique and diverse. The reasons for seeking therapeutic support are as individual as you.
The relationship we have with ourselves can feel difficult and disconnected when we experience any of the above. I support clients 13+ to reconnect to themselves and their needs. What you bring to the world is yours to uniquely offer and I’d like to help you connect to yourself, find and build self-awareness. The relationship you have with yourself is important, it is the one you are in for a lifetime.
I can support you by offering a warm, open and non-judgmental space where I aim for you to feel supported, safe, accepted and heard. The most important foundation of the counselling process; is developing a safe, trusting, therapeutic relationship. It is at the heart of the work we do together. This means that I value you and your experiences. I am interested in how you view yourself, relationships and the world around you.
We will work collaboratively to explore any issues you are facing and identify inner resources to manage these. Together we develop tools that help you find balance, self-confidence and enjoyment. No matter what you want to explore or the outcome you are seeking, I offer a compassionate and collaborative space in which to do this.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Leeds. I am a fully qualified and insured member of the BACP.
I have extensive knowledge, training and experience working with trauma and in a trauma informed way. I come from a creative background, having studied fine art at undergrad before embarking on this journey. I feel that my creativity naturally flows into my therapeutic practice.
I practice using an integrative and holistic approach. Working in an integrative way allows me to draw on different therapeutic approaches (person centred, psychodynamic, gestalt & creative) and their various tools and techniques. This allows for an openness and flexibility to mould my approach to meet your needs.
I offer free, no-obligation 20-minute introductory calls - book yours now to ask questions or get started.
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.

Additional information
I generally offer weekly or fortnightly counselling sessions on the same day at the same time. If this is inaccessible for any reason then we can consider a pattern, within my availability, that works for your schedule and resources.
If you are a student or experiencing financial challenges please contact me directly as we may be able to agree on a reduced fee for sessions. However, I only offer a limited number of concessionary rates.
