About me
I work with individuals that are functioning on some level, they’re managing their main day to day activities whether that be work, studies, showing up for people around them but something feels amiss.
Stuck on a feeling that life is not quite as it should be; often an issue within a relationship - partner, family members, friend, colleague or perhaps more closely centred to your relationship with yourself - your self-esteem, your identity. Stirring up feelings of anxiety, affecting your mood, levels of energy & motivation and sense of fulfilment.
I help people gain clarity. Working together to deepen self-awareness, identify patterns and understand how these have formed, with a view to making change and feeling differently about yourself and how you relate to others.
Reaching out can be difficult so whether you are thinking about in-person or remote sessions, I offer a sense of safety in the consistency of our work together. I’m warm, professional and will be curious with you to enable us to explore your experiences and how these have shaped you and the way you navigate the world.
People begin counselling for a variety of reasons:
• Feeling anxious, concerned, or worried about life and the future
• Experiencing low mood or depression
• During times of loss or loneliness
• Relationships – at home or work – not going as well as you would like
• Following redundancy, or wanting to change career
• Identity issues
• Feelings of frustration or anger
• Low self-esteem and self-worth
• During periods of significant change and transition such as marriage, parenthood, ageing, menopause, empty-nest, retirement
• Health concerns for self or others
• Family difficulties – fertility, parenthood, conflict, disappointment
If anything here seems familiar, you're welcome to send me a message - no commitment, no pressure. Just an initial conversation to see if it feels like the right fit.

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.
