About me
I am a qualified and registered counsellor providing therapy for individuals and couples in person, online and by phone. With over 12 years’ experience as a therapist, I support clients with a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, including anxiety, stress, depression, bereavement and loss, relationship issues, and all forms of domestic abuse (emotional, sexual, financial and physical).
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unable to express your thoughts and emotions, counselling can offer the support you need. Many people come to therapy during times of loss, after relationship breakdowns, or when life simply feels too heavy to manage alone. Whether you’re grieving a loved one or a pet, navigating a difficult relationship, or seeking clarity and confidence, you don’t have to go through it by yourself.
As a Person-Centred therapist, I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you will be heard, understood and respected. Our sessions will focus on you, your experiences, feelings and hopes. My aim is to help you gain deeper self-awareness, improve emotional well-being, and move forward in ways that feel authentic and empowering.
I have experience working with survivors of domestic abuse through the Woman’s Trust, a specialist organisation supporting women’s recovery from trauma. I have worked with people from diverse cultural, social and professional backgrounds, including high-profile clients.
My passion for relationships led me to complete specialist training in couples counselling, and I also volunteered for more than two years in bereavement support, offering counselling to people coping with grief. I’ve also completed additional studies in group therapy.
The Poetic Counsellor
Alongside traditional counselling, I offer a unique creative approach. As both a therapist and poet, I understand the therapeutic value of art. Clients are welcome to bring poetry, artwork, personal writing or meaningful objects into sessions. These creative elements often help people explore emotions, unlock memories and express themselves in new and healing ways.
What happens next?
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, which is why I offer a free 20-minute exploratory call with no obligation. This gives you the chance to ask questions, discuss what you’re going through, and decide whether working together feels right for you.
If you would like to book an exploratory session or ask any questions about counselling, please feel free to contact me by email or phone. I’d be happy to hear 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.
