About me
Do you feel like you have lost your voice and who you are?
You may feel deeply affected by life events such as a separation , a traumatic event, the loss of someone close to you or the loss of something important to you.
You wish to find freedom from those feelings and get yourself unstuck but you find that dealing with those emotions and day to day life is too difficult, maybe because events in your past that you do not want to impact your future, are affecting your present.
It could just be that life is happening around you but you find yourself lost in the routine and want to find your dreams again…
I offer a space where you can pause, reflect and be truly heard.
I am sensitive to the needs of each individual and offer compassion, safety and no judgement so that you can be free to express yourself without fear.
I have experience supporting people who have been through difficulties, and sometimes, traumatic situation.
How I work:
My approach integrates different styles of therapy and together we can explore what will be most useful for your journey towards healing.
I draw on differents counselling approaches, including person centred, CBT, creative therapy and Christian counselling among others, to assist my clients.
What help can I offer:
I offer help with anxiety, trauma, low self esteem, losses and grief, depression, relationships difficulties, abuse and traumatic events.
I can also offer REWIND therapy for short term support after trauma. It helps to reduce involuntary recalls and lower the impact of it on your life.
I am a native French speaker and can also offer counselling in French.
Online counselling:
Online counselling can be a benefit in a lot of different way; if coming out of the house is a challenge or your location or personal difficulties or carer responsibilities prevent you from meeting up physically, online counselling allows you to have your session at home or in a place of your choosing, without the need to travel.
Sometime people may simply find it easier to discuss certain issues in writing; online counselling helps to achieve that.

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.
The Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions (ACC) is a Christian professional membership organisation for those involved in counselling/psychotherapy and linked professions, i.e. pastoral care, coaching and spiritual direction, in the UK. The organisation is made up of various different membership categories, including Counsellor and Accredited, and requires all members working as counsellors to undertake Continuous Professional Development on a regular basis.
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.
