About me

Welcome to my therapy practice, where I offer a range of personalised and compassionate services to support individual adults, couples, families, and children. With over a decade of experience, I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive space for people of all ages to explore their emotions, overcome challenges, and improve their overall well-being.

My Services Include:

Individual Counselling: Offering one-to-one therapy for adults to address personal challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and more. Together, we work on practical solutions tailored to your unique needs.
 
Couples & Relationship Counselling: Helping couples navigate communication difficulties, trust issues, and conflicts to strengthen their relationships and find balance.

Family Counselling: Supporting families in building stronger connections, resolving conflicts, and improving communication in a warm, professional setting.

Children’s Counselling: Providing therapy for children to help them process emotions, manage anxiety, and cope with behavioural or social challenges, often through therapeutic play.

Teen Counselling (Ages 13-19): Assisting adolescents in navigating the complexities of teenage life, such as identity, peer pressure, academic stress, and mental health concerns.

Neurodiversity Support: Specializing in helping individuals with ADHD, autism, Asperger’s syndrome, and other neurodiverse conditions, offering guidance and strategies for managing everyday challenges and improving quality of life.

Parenting Support Counselling: Offering parents guidance and support in addressing behavioural challenges, communication difficulties, and creating a positive and nurturing family environment.

I also offer sessions for trainee therapists, helping them develop essential skills, manage the pressures of training, and grow in their professional journey.

No matter where you are in life or the challenges you’re facing, I’m here to offer support, tools, and strategies to help you move forward with confidence and strength. Whether online or in person, my goal is to create a space where you feel understood and empowered to make positive changes. 

I am able to offer face to face or online sessions.

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

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
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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
