About me
Hi, thank you for clicking on my profile. My focus is to help you heal, energise, and become aware of your inner strengths. This is achievable by my calm approach and by providing a neutral safe space for us to work together. So whether you are suffering with anxiety, depression, feeling sad, low self-esteem etc, or you just need some space to talk I'm sure we can work together.
When making first contact I will offer you a free 20 minute online/telephone consultation where you can talk with me and see if we are a good match. If you decide to go ahead sessions are 50 minutes long and £50. We will work at your pace and in a way that suits your needs, collaboratively we will explore what is going on for you and I'll offer interventions that I feel would help you further.
I am able to support you regardless of where you live in the UK. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and able to offer counselling based on your needs. I work with adults and young people and I have experience of working with neurodiversity and LGBTQ+. I am also an Autism Ambassador for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Regardless of what you are looking for, send me a message and arrange a free 20 minute session where we can explore your needs and what you would like from your counselling.
I am happy to work with individuals and couples.

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.
