About me
As a Counsellor, I am dedicated to supporting adults, young people, and families to navigate life’s challenges and build more fulfilling, connected lives. I am passionate about helping people strengthen relationships, deepen self-understanding, and explore their authentic selves emotionally, physically, psychologically, and sexually within a safe and supportive therapeutic space.
As a Barnardo’s Link Therapist, I am registered with Ofsted to work with individuals affected by adoption. I support all members of the adoption triangle — adoptees, adoptive parents, and birth parents — and also work with those involved in fostering and special guardianship arrangements. My work is grounded in an understanding of attachment, identity, trauma, and relational dynamics.
Alongside my adoption work, I have extensive experience in supporting people with a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement and loss, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, family difficulties, and life transitions. I have also worked within secondary school and boarding settings, supporting young people and families from diverse backgrounds.
I support clients with psychosexual concerns and I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space to explore concerns relating to intimacy, sexuality, relationships, desire, sexual confidence, communication, sexual functioning, and identity. I understand that talking about these experiences can feel vulnerable, and I work sensitively and collaboratively to help clients develop greater understanding, connection, and confidence within themselves and their relationships.
I bring a warm, empathic, honest, and down-to-earth approach to my work, creating a confidential space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported. I believe therapy should be collaborative and tailored to each individual’s unique experiences and needs.
If you would like to find out more about counselling or discuss how I may be able to support you, please feel free to get in touch by phone or email. I would be happy to help.

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.
