About me
Hello,
I am an experienced counsellor trained in EMDR therapy, who loves what I do for a living and who knows what it is like when life isn't what you'd anticipated it would be with its turns, dips and blockages in the road. I understand that it takes great courage and determination to take the steps and changes necessary for improved wellbeing and hope.
As an intuitive, empathic counsellor/coach with training to master's degree level, an interest and experience in emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing, I have a warm, accepting, and non-judgemental approach. I understand that life is not an easy or straightforward path, so I offer a space for you to reflect upon your life and then tailor my approach to help you find your individual pathway to process and reconcile past or present challenges, to enhance your life journey and empower your future.
I am passionate about having someone impartial and qualified alongside you who attentively listens, is perceptively understanding, who notices, is equipped and provides you with relevant knowledge, understanding and resources when you have new and unfamiliar pathways to follow and choices to make as you navigate the route. I believe each are an important part of successful therapy.
My approach is one of ‘there can be a way where there seems to be no way’. I work eclectically, informed largely through person-centred, spiritual formation, IFS, somatic and trauma models such as EMDR. I adapt my approach to best support you, the client. Working in this way is evidenced to be the most effective and beneficial to clients.
I am married with two grown up children who no longer live at home. My daughter is married and my son engaged to be married. I value and enjoy spending time with my family and friends, walking and wild swimming especially at dawn or dusk. During 2025 I completed a Camino and enjoyed a canalboat holiday singlehanded accompanied by my young Labrador Mia.
I love reading, music, theatre and baking. I make jam too. During 2026 my aim is to re-find my ability to sing and act and to re-visit the joy of writing poetry and painting.
Currently, I work in private practice particularly with adults and young people experiencing varying levels of traumatic experience including CPTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship and life changing challenges, also, eating disorders. Some are desiring increased fulfilment in life, or better connection with themself and/or other people, particularly following the pandemic that has challenged many aspects of life for people.
I gained a Master's degree in Spiritual Formation in 2021 which was both challenging and inspirational! In 2025 I qualified in EMDR Therapy which I enjoy immensely and find a very effective therapy for helping people.
I am involved with providing online wellbeing mentoring to students of different ages/stages of life with neurodiverse diagnoses or traits who are experiencing mental health challenges.
If you think you would find support from me beneficial, please contact me by text, phone or email, which ever works best for you. If I am unavailable, I will make contact with you as soon as I am able to, usually within 48 hours.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a graduate counsellor with a Foundation Degree in Person-centred counselling, an MA in Spiritual Formation and a post-graduate certificate in EMDR Therapy . I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Also, a senior practitioner mentor/coach, accredited with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC). My training has included Bereavement, Children and Young People, aspects of mental health – including trauma and dissociation, spiritual formation, spiritual direction, IFS, somatic therapy and EMDR.
I have experience of working with a variety of age ranges (16-85+) and issues, including anxiety and depression, personality disorders, addictions, suicidal tendencies, self-harm, eating disorders, marriage and family issues, male and female domestic abuse, sexuality, bereavement, work-related difficulties and health issues – including chronic pain, and life limiting illness. Also, challenges associated with neurodiversity.
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.

Further information
My aim is to be a patient and effective support to clients, providing a pathway of hope, for as long as the support if found to be helpful.
I have gained many tools for improved wellbeing through years of life and professional experience and extensive training.
Some email communication (particularly for coaching) between sessions to maintain and improve motivation and to share specific tools for clarity of and re-referral to them is provided. This proves to be useful for clients and is not misused.
