About me
I offer compassionate, practical and personalised support for people experiencing anxiety, stress, depression and low mood, overwhelm, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, burnout, life transitions, and periods of feeling stuck or disconnected. My aim is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can talk openly, feel genuinely heard, and begin to make sense of what you are going through.
My core approach is Person-Centred counselling, building a therapeutic relationship based on empathy, trust and understanding. I believe that feeling truly heard and accepted can be the foundation for meaningful personal growth and lasting change. Where helpful, I also integrate CBT techniques to help you recognise unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, develop healthier coping strategies, and better manage challenges such as anxiety, stress and low mood.
Collaboration is at the heart of my work. Together, we can explore the areas of life that no longer feel right, build greater self-awareness, resilience and confidence and work towards helping you feel more balanced, more capable, and more comfortable in yourself and your life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have experience supporting adults and young people across a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, including working with neurodiverse clients with ADHD and ASD, within both private practice and organisational settings.
While my preferred way of working is face to face, I also work online and aim to offer flexibility to meet the needs of each client. I recognise that no two people are the same and try to adapt my way of working to best support individual needs and circumstances.
I hold a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling with an additional year of CBT training and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have also undertaken additional specialist training in several areas including bereavement, sexual abuse, and working with children and young people.
As part of my commitment to safe, ethical and effective practice, I regularly undertake ongoing professional development and further training.
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.
