About me
Feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected from yourself?
Dealing with depression, burnout, relationship difficulties?
Maybe your constantly masking or questioning why you often feel disconnected from 'normal' people?
Counselling offers space to slow down, reflect, untangle what’s going on beneath the surface and understand who you are a little better.
I work with clients experiencing issues mentioned above, as well as many other problems that might be present in your life.
People of all ages, race, sexuality and gender are welcome and will be treat with respect, care and empathy.
Our Counselling / Client relationship differs from other areas of support such as with your spouse, friends or parents.
The counselling relationship is one in which you can confidentially share anything you wouldn't usually with other people. Things you struggle to address or speak about, sometimes even to yourself.
Without judgement, rejection or shame.
It is also free from 'problem solving' or 'rescuing'.
There is, unfortunately, no magic words I will say to you that will transform your life or mindset overnight.
What we will do however, is work together to help you find your long term solutions, as well as challenge the thoughts and narratives you might be telling yourself, that fuel the issues you are facing.
Recognise patterns of behaviour that come up, where these might stem from and why they dictate our life.
This at times will be difficult, hard work. But it will also be incredibly valuable.
My approach to our work is relational, human and unpretentious.
The ideal counsellor will be completely unique for each individual, so I present myself as authentically to my clients as possible, as I find very little point in pretending to be something I am not.
Hopefully this can resonate with you and help you feel comfortable as we progress through our work together.
I am an ADHD diagnosed Counsellor. The experience and reflections of living my life with ADHD, years learning about Neurodiversity and understanding how it overlaps with psychology, has informed my life and practice greatly.
I take immense pride in being able to help others who have faced similar difficult experiences to myself.
I offer a free 30-minute phone call where you can explain more about what your looking for and ask any questions, either about myself or the process.
Sessions are available in person in Leeds, or remotely via video call or telephone.
Session availability can be accomodated depending on clients needs.
If any information you see on my page is unclear or a sticking point for you, then please feel free to email and ask any questions.
Im always happy to speak and clear up help make this process easier for you.

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.
