About me
You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure why things feel harder than they should. Perhaps your thoughts feel tangled, your confidence has taken a knock, or familiar patterns keep showing up in your relationships. If this resonates, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to try to make sense of it all by yourself.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD burnout, grief and bereavement, relationship difficulties, domestic abuse recovery and chronic illness. Many of the people I support feel emotionally exhausted from carrying everything on their own and want a safe space to understand themselves more clearly.
A lot of my work involves supporting people through grief and loss in its many forms, including bereavement, divorce, relationship breakdowns, job loss, and other significant life changes. I also support survivors of domestic abuse, as well as those who find themselves putting others first, struggling with boundaries, or feeling stuck in patterns of people-pleasing that are difficult to change alone. These experiences can quietly shape how we see ourselves and relate to others, often leaving us feeling stuck or unsure how to move forward.
Alongside my professional training, I bring an understanding of chronic illness and its emotional impact, informed by my lived experience of endometriosis. I recognise how ongoing health conditions can affect identity, confidence, relationships, and everyday life in ways that are often unseen or misunderstood.
I am trained in the person-centred approach, which means the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work. I offer a warm, empathetic, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, at your own pace, and begin to make sense of what’s been weighing on you. My wider training in psychodynamic and systemic perspectives also informs my work, helping me to understand how past experiences and relationships may continue to influence how things feel today.
I offer face-to-face counselling in Rainhill, serving clients across St Helens, Prescot, Whiston, Liverpool, and the wider Merseyside area, as well as online and telephone counselling across the UK. I also previously worked within a local counselling service commissioned by the NHS for 5 years.
Reaching out for counselling can feel daunting, especially if you’re used to coping on your own. My aim is to help you feel at ease, supported, and understood, so that together we can gently untangle what feels overwhelming and move towards a way forward that feels right 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.
