About me

I understand that reaching out and starting counselling can feel like a big and daunting step. Because of this, my primary focus is creating a safe, trusting, and warm relationship that gives you the exact support you need to move forward.

While I work with adults (18+) across a broad range of life circumstances, I specialise in helping both men and women who are navigating difficult life transitions or feeling deeply 'stuck'. Whether you are facing a major shift in your career, retirement, relationships, or family life, or simply feel unable to find a clear path forward, I provide a compassionate space to help you regain your footing.

I also hold a particular interest in women’s health transitions, including supporting clients through parental burnout, perinatal/postnatal struggles, and the changes of perimenopause and menopause.

As an experienced integrative counsellor, I draw upon a range of therapeutic techniques tailored entirely to your unique needs. We will always go at a pace that works for you, helping you to safely process your experiences and find a sense of clarity and calm.

I currently have a small number of daytime slots available for new clients (online and in-person). Please get in touch to see how we can work together.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

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).

Further information

Our first session is a 50-minute initial consultation to discuss your current challenges, what brings you to therapy, and your potential goals. There is absolutely no pressure to share more than you feel ready to.
This meeting is a professional yet gentle space for you to get a feel for how I work, ask questions, and decide if I am the right person to support you.
