About me
Hello, and welcome. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and there may be moments when speaking with a warm, approachable counsellor could help. Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing in a safe, supportive environment and work towards meaningful change, self-awareness, and empowerment.
I am a qualified integrative counsellor committed to providing a confidential, non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. As every individual is unique, I tailor my therapeutic approach to suit your personal needs, drawing from a range of counselling methods to support your well-being and growth.
I have extensive experience supporting clients experiencing anxiety, low mood, life transitions, loss, trauma and identity-related challenges. My aim is to help clients develop resilience, confidence and healthier coping strategies through compassionate talking therapy.
I also specialise in neurodiversity including ASD and ADHD and provide a neurodivergent-affirming therapeutic space for children, young people and adults. My work focuses on understanding behaviours, improving emotional literacy and supporting positive changes that can enhance relationships, friendships and overall well-being. Where appropriate I incorporate creative resources, play and mindfulness techniques to support emotional expression and healing.
My practice is grounded in the Person-Centred approach which places your voice, experiences and inner strengths at the heart of our work together. I believe every person has the capacity for growth when they feel genuinely heard, understood and accepted. I offer empathy, unconditional positive regard and a collaborative, compassionate therapeutic relationship that honours individuality and difference.
I work in a trauma-informed and LGBTQIA+ inclusive way, supporting you to become more self-aware, empowered, and emotionally resilient.

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.
