About me
Psychotherapeutic Counselling for Children, Young People & Adults
Searching for therapeutic support can feel daunting and it takes a great deal of courage to begin that process. I’m here to make it a worthwhile and potentially life changing experience, at a pace that suits you.
Getting Started
Please do reach out via email or phone to book a free 20-minute initial consultation. In this consultation, we’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy, what you hope to gain from our sessions, and how we can best work together to support your goals. If you decide to move forward, we’ll schedule your first session, typically on a weekly basis (although the frequency of sessions can be flexible), to allow for deeper, more effective progress.
What I Offer
I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space, whether inside the therapy room or outdoors on a walk and talk session, where you can express and explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. Therapy with me is collaborative, empowering, and tailored entirely to you.
As an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, my core approach is Person-Centred, which is based on the belief that everyone has the innate capacity for growth and change. But because I'm integrative, I can also draw from a variety of methods and creative tools to meet your unique needs, whether that means talking therapy, play therapy, outdoor sessions, or practical techniques you can learn with me in the room, and then implement in your daily life.
Our work together can help you:
•Understand and manage emotions
•Heal from trauma
•Notice and challenge unhelpful patterns
•Build confidence and resilience
•Reconnect with your inner strength
•Connect or strengthen the connection with your inner child
Areas I Can Support You With
I work with a wide range of issues, including:
•Anxiety & depression
•Sleep problems
•Grief & loss
•Trauma & PTSD
•Addiction & self-harm
•Stress, anger, & burnout
•Low self-esteem & low confidence
•Relationship issues
•Phobias
•Asthma & breathing issues (as a qualified Buteyko breathing instructor)
•Personal development & self-exploration, and much more
Even if you’re not facing a specific problem, therapy can be a powerful tool for growth, reflection, and ongoing self-care.
Ethics & Confidentiality
I’m a registered member of the BACP and follow their Ethical Framework. Confidentiality is central to my practice and is only ever broken in rare circumstances involving risk to life, child safety, or disclosure of serious crimes.

Training, qualifications & experience
I’m a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and a Registered Member of the BACP. In 2022 I completed an intensive five-year psychotherapy training course at a respected institution in Newcastle, known both locally and nationally for its high standards.
My approach is grounded in compassion, professionalism, and continuous self-reflection. As part of my training, I’ve undergone extensive clinical supervision and continue to do so, ensuring that the way I work is ethical, effective, and tailored to each client.
An essential part of my journey was also spending over 160 hours in personal therapy. This gave me the opportunity to experience therapy from the client’s perspective, helping me understand myself more deeply and appreciate the courage it takes to seek support.
I believe that the heart of effective therapy lies in a strong, trusting relationship. Through my own therapeutic work and supervised practice, I’ve developed the skills to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s going on beneath the surface and work towards lasting change.
In addition to my counselling qualifications, I’m also a certified Buteyko Breathing Instructor. The Buteyko method teaches nasal, diaphragmatic breathing – an approach that can be particularly helpful for those who experience over-breathing, anxiety, asthma, or sleep issues.
Many clients find this technique supports their emotional wellbeing, reduces stress, and even enhances sleep quality and physical performance.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply curious about how therapy might help, I’m here to answer any questions you may have, and to support you as you explore, understand, and grow.
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.
