About me
I understand that people sometimes lose their way, yet I believe in the power for each person to find their own path to healthy emotional well-being. I offer deep-level support and constructive challenge to facilitate self-growth, confidence, and self-sustaining mental health. Working together, I will offer an honest, empathic response to your needs and help you build lasting, positive change.
I have over 10 years’ experience working across a variety of mental health settings in and around Basingstoke. This includes private practice, supporting young adults at Basingstoke College of Technology (BCOT), NHS substance misuse services, and trauma-informed support within Two Saints charity.
I adapt my approach depending on what best suits you as an individual, firmly believing that the most important element of therapy is the relationship and trust we build together. Sessions take place in a comfortable, discreetly built room to ensure complete privacy.
Taking the next step
Reaching out can feel daunting or overwhelming, but taking that first step is completely normal. I offer a free 15-minute consultation for us to get to know each other and explore what you need. Please feel free to contact me for an informal discussion or to arrange an initial session.

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.
