About me
Hello and welcome,
Life can be complicated, we all have ups and downs but sometimes the hard moments become a struggle and difficult to ignore. We can do a very good job of masking "being ok" or "having it all under control" but this isnt always sustainable. If you are feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed by difficult emotions, past experiences, relationship issues or life transitions then Counselling can help. I can provide a calm and non-judgemental space to explore and make sense of your thoughts and feelings.
How I work
As a person-centred counsellor, I’m here to offer you a warm, understanding, and supportive space where you can feel truly comfortable to share your thoughts and feelings. My approach is all about working together in a compassionate and non-judgmental way to help you explore your challenges and gain a deeper understanding of yourself. Together, we can navigate these challenges, uncover insights, and work towards creating a greater sense of well-being and fulfillment in your life.
Sometimes, we can feel stuck, whether it’s due to anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or other life challenges. I’m here to support you in identifying your goals and working together to build understanding, acceptance, and perspective, helping you take meaningful steps forward.
I have a special passion for supporting women who feel the weight of juggling many roles while trying to hold on to their sense of self. Whether you’re balancing caring for children and parents, navigating relationship challenges, or quietly carrying unspoken trauma, I offer a supportive space for you to explore and reconnect with yourself.
I also support young adults as they navigate the challenges of life after leaving home, whether they’re studying or beginning their journey into independence.
I have experience with a wide range of issues and struggles, but remember, we don’t need to be in distress to benefit from counselling. Perhaps you’re just not feeling like yourself, or you might appreciate having someone independent to truly listen—someone who offers understanding without judgment.
I welcome you to get in touch and have a chat.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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 offer a free initial 20 minute session so I can listen to your concerns and we can decide, together, if therapy is right for you and if I am the right counsellor.
Online sessions are carried out via a secure platform, many clients prefer the accessibility and convenience of being in their homes or other private space for their sessions. Online working benefits those who are often travelling or are away at University and those that find it difficult to leave their homes.
I offer short-term work for those wanting to focus on a particular issue and long-term work where we can develop a more in-depth exploration into specific areas of your life or patterns.
