About me
Having a space to talk about and explore our present and our past is often enough to start understanding what might be lying beneath our anxiety. Working with me I hope to be part of your journey towards better understanding.
My aim is to enable you to talk about whatever feels important to you. It might be you just need a space to talk, be listened to, explore thoughts and feelings about how life is; or it might be you are looking to free yourself from patterns of behaviour that no longer serve you.
You might feel dissatisfied, unsure how to create the life you’d like; I will work with you to listen, understand, and support you to find a different way of living that is more satisfying and empowering.
I have experience in various sectors, including finance, journalism and hospitality and I understand the pressures that work, family and relationships can place on us and the importance of managing these experiences to find a satisfying balance and live with authenticity.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor having trained with CPTA. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where we explore what might be holding you back and work towards what matters most to you. Sessions are focused on present-moment awareness and curiosity, helping us uncover patterns, process blocked emotions, and develop tools for navigating life’s complexities. Whether you’re aiming to build deeper intimacy, find fulfilment in your career, or address unresolved issues in your past our work together is designed to help you reconnect with your strengths and values. I am a member of the BACP.
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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
How we are relating to ourselves, how we relate to those closest to us and how we experience the world we are in can all bring challenges to accepting where we are and understanding where we want to go. If you have any questions about how I could work with you then please email me to arrange an initial, exploratory session. During this session we will be able to discuss what has brought you to therapy and it will be an opportunity to see if working with me is something you would like to do.

Further information
I suggest we start with a telephone conversation. There is no charge for this and it normally lasts around ten to fifteen minutes. After this, if it feels right for you, we could arrange a first session, which is treated as any other in terms of timing (50 mins) and fee (£75), for us to get to know each other, to gain an understanding of who you are, what you'd like from therapy and for you to ask any questions you may have. If after that session you feel I might be the right therapist for you we can arrange a time and day that would suit you going forward. Please email me if this something you would like to do..
