About me
Move forward with new understanding.
If you want to give yourself some space to process difficult emotions, navigate major life transitions, heal from trauma, or improve your relationships.
I can provide a confidential, non-judgmental space to gain self-awareness and develop healthy coping strategies when everyday challenges feel overwhelming.
I will work with you, individually or as a couple, to explore your concerns and help you to discover solutions, and I can also offer counsellor supervision.
Being a humanistic counsellor which means that I focuse on your unique potential for personal growth and self-discovery, and believe that you know yourself better than anyone else. I will provide you with a safe, non-judgmental space, empowering you to find your own answers to life's challenges.
My experience, over the last 15 years, has been working with adults and young adults in; private counselling practice, higher education, mental health and justice sectors, as well as domestic abuse and healthy relationships interventions.
Making contact is the first step and i'm looking forward to hearing from 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.
