About me
I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can explore the challenges you are facing, understand yourself more deeply and begin to make meaningful changes.
I support men and women of all ages experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief and life changes. My aim is to help you feel heard, understood and supported while exploring the thoughts, feelings and experiences that may be affecting your wellbeing.
With experience across private practice, working within NHS substance misuse services, BCOT college and trauma-informed settings, I understand that every person’s journey is unique. I tailor therapy to you as an individual, working collaboratively to help you develop greater self-awareness, resilience and healthier ways of coping.
Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. I provide a calm, supportive environment where you can speak openly at your own pace and begin exploring what matters most to you.

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.
