About me
Do you need a safe space to just talk, think and ultimately breathe freely? No judgment, just listening. Together we can take you to a better place. You are the expert on your own life and I am the sounding board offering you feedback and other potential perspectives but ultimately we work together to help you grow in sessions. Our first sessions will be purely person-centred listening to your concerns and as your needs emerge we may move on to elements of therapies like CBT , mindfulness and compassion-focused therapy.
I work a lot with adaptation and change be it life stages, relationships, living conditions or migration. I have a wide range of experience, especially around feeling 'different' due to race, religion, neurodivergence, or sexual preferences and the influence that has on relationships working with the person making the changes and/or affected family members. I am particularly interested in what makes us feel 'other' or regard ourselves as being 'on the outside' of the mainstream, how we become accepting of that and comfortable with ourselves.
Counselling is available online with limited Face to Face availability.
The answer is within you and as we unpack and go through what is holding you back and discover the gems that are hidden in you, you will start having more good days.

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.
