About me
You’re here because something doesn’t feel quite right, and you’d like some help and understanding what’s happening and what might need to change. Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting. Researching counsellors and deciding who you would feel comfortable opening up to is hard. Choosing someone you can trust with your thoughts, feelings and experiences is a big decision, and it’s important to get it right for you.
I’d like to make that first step a little easier.
I offer a free, no-obligation 15-minute phone call or online meeting so we can get to know each other and see whether we feel like a good fit. There’s no pressure and no expectation to commit. I believe that therapy works best when it’s collaborative, and the relationship we build together is an important part of that process.
This initial conversation gives you the opportunity to ask questions, share a little about what’s brought you to counselling and get a sense of who I am and how I work. Most importantly, it gives you space to consider whether I’m someone you feel comfortable working with.
If anxiety, persistent worries or emotional distress are affecting your life, I can offer a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can explore what’s going on, make sense of your feelings and begin working towards meaningful change.
My approach is integrative, which means I tailor our work to you and your individual needs. This might involve talking therapy, creative approaches or breathwork to help you manage anxiety and feel more grounded. Or perhaps you simply need someone to listen while you talk things through.
There’s no right or wrong way to begin counselling. We’ll work together at a pace that feels comfortable for you, exploring what feels helpful and right for you.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before you reach out.
If you’d like to find out more, you’re very welcome to arrange a free 15-minute phone call or online meeting. There’s no obligation to continue, just an opportunity for us to connect and see whether working together feels right.
You can book an intro call at the top of the page or contact me by email. My website has lots more information about me and my practice.

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.
