About me
Are you feeling overwhelmed and struggling to cope? Do you find it difficult to manage anxiety, depression, or emotional distress? Life’s challenges can sometimes seem too overwhelming to face alone, but you don’t have to navigate them without support. Counselling provides a safe and non-judgmental space to explore your feelings and work towards a greater sense of well-being.
I am a qualified integrative counsellor and have been practising since 2017. I hold a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling and primarily work from a person-centred approach, believing that a strong therapeutic relationship is fundamental to healing and personal growth. While my practice primarily focuses on a person-centred approach, I also incorporate elements from various other therapeutic models to best support each individual’s unique needs.
I have experience working with a wide variety of issues and diagnoses, providing both short-term and long-term therapy. Sessions can be held weekly or biweekly, depending on what feels right for you. I understand that receiving a diagnosis, whether related to mental health, neurodiversity or illness, can evoke a range of emotions and challenges. Counselling offers a space to explore what your diagnosis means for you and how to navigate life with greater self-awareness and self-compassion.
For five years, I worked specifically with individuals affected by sexual violence and childhood sexual abuse. This experience has provided me with deep insight into trauma and its long-term effects, allowing me to offer a sensitive and understanding approach to those navigating these experiences.
People come to counselling for many different reasons, including:
- Anxiety and stress
Depression and low mood
Relationship difficulties
Grief and loss
Trauma and abuse
Low self-esteem and self-worth
Life transitions and significant changes
Neurodiversity and Identity Exploration
Work or academic pressures
Managing emotions and finding balance
Whatever the reason, counselling provides a supportive space to navigate challenges, make sense of difficult emotions, and discover ways to move forward. My approach always suits your needs, ensuring you feel heard, valued, and empowered.
If you'd like to explore the possibility of working together, I offer a free, no-obligation initial session to talk about your needs and how we might work together.
Sessions are £50 each. I also offer a limited number of concessionary rates, starting at £40 and a reduced rate of £35 for students.

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.
