About me
Are you suffering with anxiety, family issues, low self-esteem or facing obstacles that are holding you back from leading a happy and fulfilled life? At times, life can be very challenging and may leave you feeling confused, unhappy, unheard, and restricting you from leading the life you want. Looking into support for yourself is the first step to making a change. Counselling can be this first step, supporting you with regaining a sense of control, and a better, more positive future for you.
I specialise in working with anxiety and the variety of forms this can take including panic attacks, low self-esteem, negative self-talk, perfectionism, burnout, stress, strained/unhealthy relationships... with a goal to increase self-awareness, overcome obstacles and become the you you want to be.
As an integrative therapist, I adapt to suit you as the client and offer a down to earth and warm approach. The basis of my approach is predominantly attachment and person-centred. I understand the importance of modifying my therapeutic approach to meet your needs; everybody is unique and so your counselling journey will take the same approach.
I will support you with exploring and understanding your thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviour, in order to encourage a development in self-awareness. I may challenge when needed to support with understand yourself, developing resilience and gaining awareness of your own patterns of behaviour. My experience and training as a counsellor has emphasised the importance of providing a safe, non-judgemental, confidential environment to facilitate your counselling journey. I will support you with reflecting on your own journey and planning your future steps.
I provide both short and long-term counselling and psychotherapy depending on your needs, this can be discussed during our initial consultation and assessment. I am currently offer in-person and online counselling sessions. I am dedicated to offering you a space to be completely yourself, prioritise your needs and encourage the development of a strong therapist-client relationship.
I look forward to hearing from 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.
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.
