About me
Hi. I understand that getting to the point of searching for a therapist takes a lot of courage. I offer a confidential space where I will listen and collaborate without judgement, offering acceptance and understanding. Together we will explore what’s going on in your mind to offer you clarity, help you understand who you are and offer you the opportunity to move forward with your life in the direction you choose. Therapy is an investment in you and your life, aiding you to heal and transform.
Your sessions are a place for you to be you. I am here to facilitate the changes you hope to make and will play an active role in the sessions, exploring and sharing the process with you. I use my skills, experience, humour, creativity and my intuition to guide and support you in a personal and responsive way. I show up for you as another human being.
I am led by what you bring each session. Using what’s happening in your present to understand your past and look ahead to your future. This is not a structured or prescribed style of therapy and so there is no set time frame or tasks to be completed. I am here to offer both validation and challenge, holding your best interests in mind at all times.
I have experience working with a range of client issues, genders, ages and goals. I carried out over 100 counselling hours at MIND during my training. I work solely in private practice and have amassed over 2000 hours. I also offer training, workshops and am available to write and speak for organisations.
I offer sessions in my renovated loft at home or online.
As our relationship is central to the process, I offer all prospective clients a free phone call (around 15-20minutes) for me to provide more information about myself, therapy and what you can expect. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions and for me to find out what has brought you to therapy and what it is you would like to achieve.
I live and work on a dairy farm so have an interest in mental health in agriculture and the rural community. I have 2 young children and I spend my spare time in the outdoors hiking and wild swimming. I feel nature, especially cold water swimming have huge mental health benefits.

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.
