About me

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to explore my counselling services!

Are you navigating the pain of loss, feeling overwhelmed by grief, or struggling to reconnect in your relationship after a significant change? Whether you're dealing with the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or any other form of grief, I offer a compassionate, confidential, and safe space to help you process your emotions and begin your healing journey.

I am experienced in supporting individuals and couples who are facing bereavement, with an emphasis on providing tailored therapy to meet the unique needs of each person. My approach integrates Gestalt principles to foster self-awareness and emotional healing, allowing you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a holistic and empathetic way.

In my private practice in Fareham, I offer both in-person and online therapy sessions for clients aged 18+. As a qualified Gestalt Therapist, a member of the BACP and HACP, and accredited by The Foundation for Infant Loss, I bring a wealth of expertise in grief and loss recovery.

My experience includes:

  • Bereavement and Loss, including Pregnancy and Infant Loss
  • Grief and Trauma Recovery
  • Relationship Difficulties (couples and individual work)
  • Anxiety and Depression
  • Low Self-Esteem and Self-Image
  • Identity Exploration
  • Emotional Regulation and Stress Management
  • Neurodiversity and Supporting Diverse Needs

Whether you're struggling to find meaning after a loss, seeking to rebuild your relationship, or simply feeling stuck in your emotional life, I’m here to help guide you through the complexities of your experience with empathy, understanding, and practical support.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

Key details

DBS check info

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

My counselling practice is committed to accessibility and inclusivity. The space is wheelchair-friendly, ensuring ease of access for individuals with mobility challenges. Additionally, we have dedicated disabled toilets to accommodate diverse needs.
