About me
I am a warm and compassionate counsellor with over 14 years of experience supporting both adults and young people.
As a person-centred therapist, I believe that each person is unique and has the capacity for growth and healing. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to offer a safe, supportive space where we can explore whatever is happening in your life together.
I believe therapy is about creating space. Space to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and understand yourself more fully. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationships, loss, overwhelm, or life transitions, I aim to walk alongside you with curiosity, compassion and without judgement.
For 12 years, I worked as a school counsellor supporting adolescents, while also working with adults and young people in private practice. I now work exclusively in private practice.
I also have extensive experience supporting neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and autism, both professionally and through personal experience. I understand that challenges such as emotional overwhelm, sensitivity, masking, self-criticism and feeling different can have a significant impact on daily life and relationships. Many of the people I work with describe themselves as highly sensitive or as experiencing emotions and the world around them more intensely. Whether you have a diagnosis, are exploring the possibility of being neurodivergent, or simply feel that you experience the world differently, therapy can offer a space where you feel understood and accepted.
I am passionate about diversity and recognise and value the individuality that each person brings.
The first step is usually a free 15–20 minute phone or Zoom conversation. This gives us an opportunity to see whether I feel like the right fit for you, for you to ask any questions, and to talk a little about what has brought you to counselling. Together, we can then decide whether ongoing therapy feels right for you.
I aim to respond to all enquiries within two working days. If you have not heard back from me, please check your junk folder.

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.
