About me
I am a qualified, person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist, and couple/relationship therapist. My goal is to support you - whether as an individual or couple - in exploring your feelings and finding a deep sense of empowerment. Whether you want to set healthier boundaries, improve your mood, explore your beliefs, or learn how to navigate your relationship challenges, I provide a creative, open-minded, and confidential space where you don't have to go through life's challenges alone.
I welcome adults of all ages, cultures, and diverse backgrounds, including the LGBTQIA+ community.
How I Can Help
You might be feeling lost, continuously anxious, fearful, disconnected or feeling very low about yourself. Maybe these are just a few reasons why you are considering counselling and you would like to explore more, whether about yourself, your life or your relationship with others.
I invite you to contact me so we can work collaboratively to explore the thoughts, feelings, and issues you are finding difficult. Together, we will work to make sense of them and explore changes that will support you to grow and feel more content in your life.
My Approach
I believe you are the expert on your life. My practice is grounded in relational-centred work, meaning I focus on the therapeutic relationship we build together. You hold all the resources you need to navigate your path, and you may just need some help and support to reconnect with them.
Therapy can be short-term, for a specific issue, or longer-term, to deal with more difficult emotions or your desire for more personal development. Either way, it is most common to schedule weekly sessions.

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
I specialise in the treatment of a range of clinical issues, including anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, burnout, personality difficulties, sense of self and relationship issues. I have particular interest in the work with PTSD and psycho-somatic health.
I am trained in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) at levels 1&2, which is recognised worldwide. Emotional or physical issues can hold us back, but gently tapping on the correct pressure points can help tune into those uncomfortable thoughts and feelings that have been causing us pain.
