About me
About me
Something has brought you here. Maybe it's a bereavement, a relationship under strain, a job loss, a move abroad, or a life stage that's arrived before you felt ready. Whatever it is, you don't have to navigate it alone.
I'm a specialist integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with a particular focus on grief, loss and life transitions. My style is warm, down-to-earth and practical. I'll help you understand what you're feeling and give you real tools to use in everyday life.
I work with people facing bereavement and grief, relationship difficulties and loss, redundancy, retirement and career change, expat life and relocation, anxiety, professional stress and burnout, confidence and self-esteem, adoption-related challenges, new ADHD or health diagnoses, and the emotional relationship with food and sugar cravings.
All sessions are held online so wherever you are in the world, support is within reach.

Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I am also a qualified careers coach with a Post Graduate Diploma in Career Guidance.
Alongside my private practice, I have worked with Young Minds, Princes Trust, Positive Pete and most recently working as a bereavement counsellor at the The Mulberry Centre supporting cancer patients, their families and carers, as well as the recently bereaved.
I have regular supervision in line with BACP recommendations.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.

Further information
If you agree to start counselling with me, I will send you a contract to fill out and sign.
After this, we will have our first session. I will ask you a series of questions about yourself so that I have a better idea of who you are. E.g. family life, friends, health, what is bringing you to counselling - these are a few of the questions I will ask you.
We will then be ready to start on what you want to bring to the counselling sessions.
I generally recommend 6 sessions to start with and then we can decide how to take things forward from there. We can discuss this in our session.
