About me
Life can be full of challenges, and often, we find ways to push through. But sometimes, an experience or a moment can leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, or struggling to catch our breath. You may be carrying feelings of shame or self-doubt, facing anxiety that makes everyday life harder, or navigating a significant change such as the loss of a loved one, relationship difficulties, or career shifts. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to go through it alone. This is where counselling may help.
Taking the step to see a counsellor can feel daunting—it takes real courage to acknowledge when you need support. It’s also important to find the right person: someone who helps you feel safe, heard, and respected.
I believe you are the expert on your own life, but sometimes, a fresh perspective can help bring clarity. Together, we can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain a deeper understanding, and find a way forward that feels right for you.
I offer a warm, empathetic space where you can talk freely, without fear of judgment. Whether we explore patterns from the past or focus on the challenges you’re facing right now, we will always work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Every person’s story is unique, and I tailor my approach to suit you. I don’t see people as diagnoses or labels—I see individuals with their own strengths, struggles, and potential for change. I truly believe that with the right support, growth and healing are possible.
My office is based on a farm, just outside of Cobham, in Surrey. It's a comfortable and discrete environment, designed specifically to offer a peaceful and therapeutic space. I am also experienced in telephone and video therapy and so can provide counselling to people who live further afield, or we can blend how you access our sessions according to your needs.
Please do get in touch for a free initial telephone conversation, which typically takes 15-20 minutes, where we can establish if I am the right person to help you. Following on from this, we can schedule in a regular time for you where we can meet - either in-person or remotely. I offer both short- and long-term therapy and we can review what is most suitable for you.

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.
