About me
Are you dealing with a bereavement, loss or major change in your life - perhaps a new diagnosis of autism, ADHD or even cancer? Are you feeling high levels of anxiety or overwhelmed by a recent or past trauma? Are you experiencing family or relationship difficulties that just won't resolve?
At some points in our lives we all need extra support and this is nothing to feel ashamed of, in fact asking for help is one of the best ways to care for yourself. I offer a warm, empathic, and authentic approach and I am neurodiversity-affirming. This will enable you to explore, with support, painful feelings, past experiences and stuck patterns of behaviour that may be holding you back.
I have particular experience of working with bereavement, trauma, problematic family relationships and living with cancer. As a trained and experienced Educational Psychologist, I also have a sound understanding of the impact additional needs such as autism and ADHD can bring to your daily life and relationships.
I have worked in the field of education and mental health for over 20 years. I have experience of working with clients from a wide variety of cultures and different religious, educational and cultural backgrounds. I value and welcome working with diversity.
I am an integrative counsellor which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and techniques depending on the issues that you bring and what works best for you.
Therapy with me will help you to understand yourself better, leading to greater self-acceptance and behavioural change. You will feel validated and calmer, have a more balanced perspective and feel able to manage difficult feelings and situations with greater success. This will lead to improved relationships and a greater sense of being your authentic self.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch for a free 15 minute call, by phone or by video, whichever you prefer. This will be a chance to explore your needs further, ask any questions and to decide whether we will be a good fit to work together.
I look forward to working with 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.
