About me
I offer a supportive and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. My approach is integrative. Integrative therapy brings together ideas and techniques from different counselling approaches. This means I can adapt the way I work to suit your individual needs, rather than taking a “one-size-fits-all” approach. At the heart of my work is building a safe, supportive relationship, while drawing on different methods that may help you explore your experiences, understand patterns, and find new ways forward. We can work with, but not limited to, anxiety, ADHD, depression, OCD, family issues and low self-esteem.
Together, we work collaboratively to understand what you’re going through and explore new perspectives. I may draw on different techniques depending on what feels most helpful for you, always keeping your goals at the centre of our sessions.
Clients often find that therapy helps them develop greater self-awareness, build resilience, and discover more effective ways of coping with challenges in daily life.
Training, qualifications & experience
In my practice, I offer a calm, confidential, and supportive space where you can talk openly and be heard without judgement. Sessions usually last 60 minutes and take place in person/online/by phone, depending on what works best for you.
I aim to create an environment that feels safe and consistent, so you can explore whatever feels important at your own pace. Some clients prefer a more structured approach, while others value having space to reflect more freely. I adapt the sessions to suit your needs.
You can expect me to listen with empathy, work collaboratively with you, and gently encourage reflection and self-understanding. Over time, this process can help you gain clarity, develop new ways of coping, and feel more confident in navigating life’s challenges.
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.

Further information
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for you to share what has brought you to therapy. I’ll ask some gentle questions to understand your situation, and you’ll have space to talk about what feels most important to you.
I’ll explain how I work, including confidentiality and practicalities, and we can explore what you would like to gain from counselling. This is also a chance for you to ask me any questions about the process.
Many people find that the first session helps ease initial nerves and gives them a sense of whether they feel comfortable working with me. From there, we can decide together how to move forward.
