About me
Support When You Need It Most
We all face times in life when things feel overwhelming or out of our control. There is no shame in reaching out for support – in fact, it takes real strength and courage. Thankfully, the stigma around mental health support is fading, and more people than ever are seeking help to improve their wellbeing. If you're struggling, please know that you don’t have to face it alone – I’m here to support you.
As a qualified and experienced counsellor, I offer an integrative approach, meaning our work together is led by you – your needs, your pace, and your goals. This non-directive style allows me to create a therapeutic space that’s tailored specifically to you.
I draw on a range of effective therapies to support meaningful change. These include:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Hypnotherapy
Together, we can explore the challenges you’re facing and work towards letting go of unhelpful, learned behaviours that may be holding you back. The good news is – what has been learned can be unlearned. With the right support, change is possible, and I’m here to help you move forward.

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.
