About me
I know that reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, and I believe you deserve to feel comfortable with the person you choose to take that step with. I offer a warm, calm and confidential space where you can be yourself without judgement, led by what feels important to you. As an integrative counsellor, I draw on different approaches to help us explore what you’re experiencing, understand patterns and relationships, and make sense of what may be keeping you stuck.
Perhaps you’ve reached a point where you feel ready to pause, reflect and understand yourself a little more. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected from yourself, or simply aware that something doesn’t feel quite right. Sometimes we wait until things feel unbearable before asking for support, but counselling doesn’t have to be a last resort. You can arrive exactly as you are, without having everything figured out, and we can take things at your pace. If you’re quietly carrying more than feels manageable, I’d be happy to hear from you and explore whether working together feels right.
Training, qualifications & experience
Perhaps you’ve reached a point where things just don’t feel quite right. You might be struggling with a change in your life, feeling overwhelmed, anxious or lost, or simply wondering, “Who am I now?” Sometimes, from the outside, everything can look fine while inside you’re finding it harder to cope.
I offer a warm, calm and genuinely non-judgemental space where you can come exactly as you are. You don’t need to know what to say, have everything figured out or even know whether counselling will help. We can start wherever feels right for you.
As a person-centred counsellor, I won’t tell you what you should do or try to fit you into a formula. Instead, I’ll listen carefully and work alongside you, at your pace. Together, we can begin to untangle what you’re carrying, understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and make sense of feelings that can sometimes be difficult to put into words.
You may be dealing with grief or loss, relationship difficulties, parenting pressures, questions around identity and self-worth, anxiety or emotional overwhelm. You may have spent a long time putting everyone else first, keeping things together or hiding how difficult things really feel.
Counselling can give you somewhere to finally put some of that down.
Clients often find that, with time and understanding, they begin to feel clearer, more grounded and more connected to themselves. My aim is not to change who you are, but to help you understand yourself more deeply and create space for you to feel more like you again.
If you’re carrying more than feels manageable, you don’t have to work it all out alone. I’d be very happy to hear from you and explore whether counselling with me feels like the right fit.

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.

Further information
Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting, especially if you’re unsure what to expect or whether your concerns are “big enough” to bring. Many people feel nervous about reaching out, and that’s completely understandable. You’re not expected to have everything worked out before you begin - counselling is a place where uncertainty, questions, and mixed feelings are all welcome.
If you decide to get in touch, we can take things slowly. There’s no pressure to commit straight away, and you’re welcome to ask questions or simply explore whether working together feels right for you. Sometimes, reaching out is simply about giving yourself permission to be supported.
