About me
Does the thought of work leave you with a sinking feeling in your stomach? Do you find it difficult to speak up in meetings and presentations or make your voice heard in personal and professional relationships? Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of daily life, or academically at school or university where the pressures of study, socialising is starting to take it's toll. If this is beginning to impact your personal life, friendships, or relationships, you're not alone.
Counselling can help you manage anxiety, overcome challenges, reduce and manage stress effectively, along with regaining a sense of balance, confidence, and control.
Counselling can help you transform your relationship with work, friends, colleagues and other relationships by:
- Talking through the challenges without fear of judgement, helping you build the confidence to explore and find alternative solutions.
- Helping you recognise your stressors and understand the underlying causes, enabling you to develop healthier coping strategies and make more positive choices.
- Supporting you in setting clear boundaries and managing the expectations of others, giving you more time, energy, and freedom to focus on the things that matter most in your life.
- Building self-confidence, so that you feel more empowered, in control, and able to navigate workplace and other pressures effectively.
- Helping you achieve a healthier work-life balance, improving your overall wellbeing, relationships, and quality of life.
I started my private practice because I met many people who felt overwhelmed by the demands of work, university, family and personal relationships struggling to maintain a healthy balance in their lives. I wanted to help clients overcome these challenges, manage stress more effectively, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives, both in and outside of work.
With over twenty years of experience in management and leading teams, I have seen first-hand the pressures, challenges and realities of modern working life. In today's always connected word, where technology never seems to stop, the boundaries between work and personal life can easily become blurred.
I understand the demands of heavy workloads, organisational change, workplace and university relationships, performance expectations, and the challenge of maintaining a healthy work-life balance. I also recognise the impact these pressures can have on mental health, personal relationships, confidence, and overall wellbeing.
I have supported clients experiencing stress, anxiety, burnout, low self-confidence, workplace conflict, career uncertainty, and the challenges of navigating the workplace as a neurodivergent individual. Through our work together, clients have been able to make meaningful changes that have improved their wellbeing, increased their confidence and sense of freedom and helped them achieve a healthier balance between work and life.
I would love to support you on your journey towards greater wellbeing and fulfilment.

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.
