About me
Hello
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.
I understand that starting therapy can feel like a daunting first step. My aim is to offer you a warm, safe, non-judgemental and supportive space where you can explore whatever may be causing you distress, at your own pace.
Whether you’re looking to understand the root of your difficulties, work through a specific challenge, or simply have someone who will truly listen without judgement, I will provide a space where you feel heard, understood and accepted. Together, we can explore your experiences, build on your strengths and help you move towards living a more authentic, fulfilling life.
I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, bereavement and loss, low self-esteem, self-worth, boundaries, stress, and life transitions. I also support clients facing many other emotional and personal challenges, tailoring therapy to your individual needs and experiences.
Life moves quickly, and many of us spend so much time looking after others or meeting daily demands that our own thoughts and feelings are pushed aside. It can also feel difficult to open up to friends or family, even when we’re struggling. Therapy offers a dedicated space that is entirely yours—a place where you can be yourself without fear of judgement. My hope is to support you in making sense of your experiences, developing greater self-awareness and finding ways to move forward with increased confidence, resilience and self-compassion.
A little about me
Supporting others has always been at the heart of my work. Throughout my career I have had the privilege of working with people from a wide range of backgrounds, helping them overcome challenges and improve their quality of life.
As a carer, I supported older adults, and later, as a support worker, I worked with vulnerable adults, helping them develop independence, build confidence and achieve their personal goals. These experiences deepened my understanding of the importance of empathy, patience and genuine human connection.
During my counselling training, I had the opportunity to work with young people aged 16–19, supporting them with difficulties including anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. I have also worked with healthcare professionals and adults from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. While I welcome clients with a wide range of concerns, I have a particular interest in working with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.
My passion for counselling is rooted not only in my professional experience but also in my own personal journey. Having faced challenging times myself, I understand how valuable it can be to have someone impartial who listens with compassion and without judgement. Therapy gave me the opportunity to explore my experiences, develop greater self-understanding and acceptance, and move forward in a way that felt authentic to me. It is this experience, alongside my training, that continues to inspire the way I work with clients today.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a home-based, Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist (PGDip, MBACP). My practice involves integrating multiple modalities, including Person Centred Theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Attachment Theory to allow myself to adapt my practice to best to suits your needs. I understand that everybody has different needs, therefore I aim to adapt my practice to ensure that you gain the most benefit from our sessions.
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.
