About me
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or struggling to cope? You don’t have to face things alone. Therapy can provide the space and support to help you move forward.
If you are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or other life challenges, I offer a calm, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings safely and openly.
Seeking support can feel difficult, especially when talking about personal concerns. I understand how hard it can be to take that first step. My aim is to provide a supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and accepted.
Therapy is about understanding where you are now, how your experiences may have shaped you, and identifying the choices and changes that can help you move towards a more fulfilling and balanced life. Together, we can explore patterns that may be holding you back, build coping strategies, and develop skills to create lasting and meaningful change.
I have experience working with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties and believe that every person is unique. I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs, working at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
I work mainly with adults and young people aged 12 and above.
I offer a free short online consultation, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, discuss what brings you to therapy, and decide whether working together feels right for you.
Taking the first step towards support can feel daunting, but you do not have to do it alone.
Training, qualifications & experience
I qualified as a therapist in May 2020 and began my supervised private practice as a member of the BACP and BABCP. I am now an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), committed to working within professional ethical standards to provide safe, compassionate, and effective therapeutic support.
I have experience supporting teenagers, young adults, and adults with a broad range of presenting issues, including anxiety, depression, identity-related challenges (including culture, sexuality, and ability), neurodiversity, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem concerns.
Since September 2023, I have also worked as a tutor at JHD Counselling Services, supporting counsellors at different stages of their professional development. I teach Level 4 counselling training for future counsellors, helping students develop therapeutic knowledge, practical skills, and reflective practice as they progress towards qualification. I also teach Level 5 professional development training for qualified counsellors, delivering the course Working with Mental Health and Trauma, supporting practitioners in developing their understanding and competence when working therapeutically with mental health presentations and trauma-related experiences.
I hold a Master’s degree in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Counselling, with training in Short-Term Brief Psychodynamic Therapy. My integrative training allows me to draw from different therapeutic approaches and adapt my work to meet the unique needs of each individual.
Alongside my professional training and practice, my own life experiences have strengthened my understanding of how difficult life can sometimes feel and the importance of being genuinely heard and supported. Through volunteering roles with organisations including Lifeline, Cruse Bereavement Support, and Cogwheel Trust, I have provided telephone and face-to-face support to individuals experiencing emotional distress, bereavement, and crisis.
I have also worked with Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), supporting adults and young people experiencing significant emotional distress and mental health difficulties, including self-harm and suicidal thoughts. This work has involved developing coping strategies, creating safety plans, offering emotional support, and signposting to additional resources where appropriate.
At the heart of my work is a commitment to providing a therapeutic space where clients feel heard, understood, and accepted. Therapy can offer an opportunity not only to work through difficulties but also to build resilience, strengthen self-understanding, and create meaningful and lasting change.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
