About me
Prioritizing Mental Health isn’t selfish – its necessary. Give yourself permission to step back, breathe and focus on what brings you clarity.
Counselling can help when life feels heavy, confusing or difficult to manage on your own. You might be experiencing:
Anxiety, worry or stress
Low mood or feeling overwhelmed
Trauma or difficult past experiences
Low self‑esteem or confidence
A challenging life transition
Feeling stuck, lost or unsure of yourself
Whether you know exactly what you want to talk about, or you’re finding it hard to put things into words, we can explore this together.
Counselling for Young People (11+)
Growing up isn’t easy. Young people often face pressures at school, at home and within friendships — and sometimes it can feel like too much to carry alone.
I offer counselling for young people who may be:
Feeling anxious, stressed or withdrawn
Struggling with emotions or confidence
Finding school or friendships difficult
Dealing with family changes or past experiences
Sessions provide a safe, confidential and non‑judgemental space where young people can talk openly and feel listened to. I work in a neuro‑affirming and trauma‑informed way, adapting sessions to suit each individual.
I work in a person‑centred, trauma‑informed way, meaning:
You are listened to without judgement
Sessions move at your pace
I support you to find your own understanding and solutions
I also integrate CBT techniques where these feel helpful. Counselling isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about gaining insight, understanding patterns, and creating meaningful change over time.
Counselling can be short‑term or longer‑term, depending on what feels right for you.
My role is not to tell you what to do, but to:
Listen with care and without judgement
Help you understand your thoughts, feelings and patterns
Support you to make sense of your experiences
Help you find your own way forward
Sometimes counselling can feel challenging, particularly when exploring difficult experiences. This is a normal part of the process, and we will always move at a pace that feels manageable for you
It’s completely normal to feel nervous or unsure about starting counselling. Many people worry about:
Not knowing what to say
Feeling emotional
Being judged
My aim is to create a warm, safe and supportive environment where you can simply be yourself.
If you’d like to take the next step or even ask any questions, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
My experience is within the NHS as a youth counsellor. My aim is to provide you with a confidential space to explore in safety, to support you through the process without judgement and empower you to discover solutions. I will offer honesty and respect.
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapy and abide by their Ethical Framework in practice and hold an Enhanced DBS - Adults, Teenagers and Children.

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.
