About me

Feeling isolated, stuck, numb, or in distress? Are past experiences affecting your current connections? Are close relationships lacking depth or intimacy, or repeating unhealthy patterns? Counselling can help address these challenges.

Whatever brings you here, I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting. I offer a safe, judgment-free space where you will be met with respect, care, and authenticity. Together, we’ll create a supportive environment for you to explore your inner world, deepen your self-awareness, and address the roots of difficult emotions and thoughts. Our work together will help you understand and change unhelpful patterns, empowering you to live a more fulfilling and positive life.

Many of us carry beliefs about ourselves from childhood, which often shape our adult behaviors. These beliefs can be self-limiting, leading to feelings of shame or discomfort and causing us to rely on defense mechanisms that temporarily manage difficult emotions. I can help you look beneath the surface to examine and release these limiting beliefs, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and develop new ways of relating to yourself.

I view counselling as an explorative, empowering process where we’ll work together to make sense of your experiences and cultivate personal growth by establishing new, helpful ways of thinking. I believe that a positive therapeutic relationship between us is essential for meaningful progress, and I place this at the core of my practice.

In our sessions, I’ll work collaboratively with you to process areas of distress, offering support and constructive challenges in a compassionate, dynamic manner. I tailor therapeutic techniques to meet your unique needs, fostering authenticity, acceptance, and personal growth.

I am a BACP-registered counsellor (MBACP), qualified in Humanistic and Psychodynamic Integrative Counselling, and I work with clients of all ages, including children and young people.

Reaching out for help can be a courageous step, and the fact that you’re here suggests you may be considering therapy as a path to support. Together, we can explore the complexities of your experiences and build on your strengths to create lasting, positive change. I invite you to reach out for a free 20-minute Zoom call to see if we are a good fit.

Member organisations

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

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).

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
