About me
Seeking support can feel like a big step, and I want you to know that you are not alone. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, or simply seeking a space to explore your thoughts and emotions, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental approach to help you find clarity and healing.
With extensive experience in counselling and therapeutic supervision, I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can express yourself openly and work towards meaningful change. My approach integrates warmth, professionalism, and evidence-based techniques tailored to your individual needs. Whether you prefer short-term, focused sessions or long-term therapeutic support, I ensure that the process remains collaborative, empowering, and responsive to your unique journey.
I work with adults, young people, couples, and families, offering therapy that respects your experiences, values, and challenges. I believe in fostering trust, understanding, and emotional resilience, so you can move forward feeling heard and supported.
Therapy is a space for growth, reflection, and healing, and I am here to guide and walk alongside you in that process. If you're ready to explore how therapy can support you, I would be honoured to be part of your journey.

Experience
My experience has spanned both private practice, charitable organisations, employee assistance providers and public healthcare where I have built a rich and diverse career in counselling, crisis intervention, supervision, and therapeutic leadership where I have provided compassionate, evidence-based mental health support to individuals and families.
In addition, as Co-founder and Practice Partner of White Lodge Therapy Practice, I oversee a counselling service that offers accessible therapy for adults, couples, and families. I manage operations, provide clinical supervision, and ensure high standards of ethical and therapeutic care.
With extensive experience in integrative counselling, therapeutic supervision, and service development, I am committed to fostering psychological safety, ethical alignment, and collaborative growth in therapeutic spaces. My approach is rooted in warmth, professionalism, and relational depth, ensuring individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered.
I have worked extensively with clients experiencing anxiety and depression, helping them navigate distress, develop coping strategies, and build emotional resilience. My therapeutic approach supports clients in identifying patterns, fostering self-awareness, and creating meaningful change.
I have also provided compassionate care to individuals facing bereavement and loss, guiding them through the grieving process with empathy and tailored interventions that respect their emotional needs and personal circumstances.
My work includes supporting children and young people in crisis and stabilisation of crisis, offering therapeutic interventions to help them manage acute mental health challenges, including self-harm, suicidal ideation, and trauma responses.
I also work with couples and families, addressing relational difficulties, communication breakdowns, and conflict resolution, fostering a space where healing and understanding can take place.
Beyond individual therapy, my expertise extends to clinical supervision, where I guide and support therapists in reflective practice, ensuring they deliver effective, client-centred care while maintaining professional growth and ethical alignment.
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.

Additional information
Your first session will be an assessment session, where we can explore whether working together feels right. This is an opportunity to discuss your needs, ask any questions, and determine if the therapeutic approach aligns with your expectations.
If we both agree to continue, therapy will begin with an open-ended contract, meaning that, wherever possible, we will both commit to ongoing sessions until you feel your therapeutic work is complete.
During the initial assessment, I will take a full history, gaining insight into your concerns, background, and goals. I will also discuss and agree on a treatment plan, including the expected duration and frequency of sessions, ensuring a structured approach tailored to your needs.
Therapy is a collaborative journey, and as your therapist I will support you in creating a safe and supportive space for exploration and growth.
