About me
I believe finding a relationship that is built on trust and respect will be the foundation of our work together, to be able support the processing of past and present experiences. Some of these experiences may be very painful, overwhelming, unknowable or anything in between. Whatever your experience, it is welcome.
I hope to provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space, with the belief that you are the expert in your own life, to explore what it is like to be ‘you’ – even if you’re not sure what that means or feels like just now. I see my role to be alongside you, to understand your experiences as closely as I can and to support you to find a way forward.
I work from the modality of the Person-Centred Approach and I also offer somatic and embodied practices to support nervous system regulation and increase awareness of the body, if this is something you would also like to explore.
I embrace people from all different backgrounds, including those that consider themselves a minority. I am LGBTQAI+ affirmative and I have worked with people for whom English is a second language. I also have experience in supporting clients with loss, bereavement, work-related issues, trauma, abuse (including childhood and adult sexual abuse), domestic violence, migration, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, chronic illnesses, identity, relationships, self-esteem and family issues.
Training, qualifications & experience
For over 10 years, I have worked in third sector organisations within communities, supporting people in groups and 1-1s from all different backgrounds who are struggling with their mental health and wellbeing. Previous to this, I worked in the arts.
- Postgrad Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling, Persona Training & Development

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.
