About me
About Me
Are you finding it hard to cope with everyday life, relationships, or the way you feel about yourself? Do you often say “yes” when you really mean “no”? Does anxiety or overwhelm make it difficult to show up for life the way you’d like?
Our past experiences shape how we respond to people and situations today. But healing doesn’t always mean revisiting every detail of the past—it’s about understanding why we react the way we do and learning how to respond differently. With the right support, you can move from battling life to living it with more ease and confidence.
Autism and Family Support
One of my key areas of expertise is working with autistic people or a family member, particularly in the period following diagnosis. This can be a time of uncertainty, adjustment, and many questions.
I bring both professional knowledge and personal insight to this work. While I am not autistic myself, my daughter, granddaughter, and other family members are. This lived experience has given me a deep understanding of the challenges and strengths that come with autism, including:
Navigating the process of seeking or receiving a diagnosis
Coming to terms with what a diagnosis means for yourself or a loved one
Understanding autistic traits and needs, and balancing them with the expectations of the wider world
Supporting family members to adapt, communicate and connect to one another.
Couples Counselling
I also work with couples who want to strengthen their relationship. My style is proactive and balanced: I offer understanding and support, while also providing challenge and insight to help couples break unhelpful patterns and grow together.
Whether you are struggling with communication, adjusting to life changes, or simply want to invest in your relationship before difficulties escalate, I can help you work towards greater clarity, resilience, and connection.
Supervision
As a qualified Supervisor and Clinical Manager, I offer supervision to both students and experienced counsellors. My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth, creating a space where supervisees can:
Explore their own struggles in working with clients
Identify blind spots and areas for growth
Sharpen their focus and strengthen their practice
I believe supervision should be authentic, supportive, and challenging in equal measures helping counsellors feel more confident, resilient, and effective in their work.
How I Work
I am a fully qualified Person-Centred Counsellor, Supervisor, and Clinical Manager with over a decade of professional experience. I work both within organisations and privately from home, offering counselling and supervision.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your needs. I believe in creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported to make meaningful changes.
Free Initial Session
I offer a free 30-minute consultation (face-to-face, telephone, or Zoom) so you can get a sense of whether I am the right counsellor or supervisor for you.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
