About me

Welcome to my counselling directory page. I’m glad you’re here, as it means you’re taking a significant step toward understanding yourself and improving your well-being. 

Life can be overwhelming, and many of us struggle with relationships, feelings of isolation, and the relentless cycle of overthinking. I understand these challenges deeply, as I have navigated similar emotions myself. The journey to self-awareness and emotional resilience has taught me valuable lessons that I now share with my clients.

In our work together, I aim to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. I believe that by recognising and addressing the issues you face—whether it’s shutting down, withdrawing from loved ones, or feeling disconnected—you can begin to make meaningful changes in your life.

My approach to counselling is grounded in empathy and understanding. I will help you connect with your emotions, identify patterns in your behavior, and develop strategies to foster confidence and calmness. Together, we will work towards grounding you in the present, allowing you to build more fulfilling relationships and navigate life’s challenges with grace.

Change is possible, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Let’s embark on this journey together toward a more connected, confident, and grounded you—both personally and professionally. Your path to healing and growth starts here.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
