About me
I am a qualified therapist and accredited member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 10 years counselling experience working online nationally and in person in Liverpool and Merseyside.
As an experienced counsellor, I can help you to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgemental, confidential space and enable you to gain new insight, strength and direction for your life. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is key to successful counselling. By listening and understanding I aim to empower clients to identify their own solutions and work through their challenges. I’m passionate about helping people improve their mental health and wellbeing and supporting clients in becoming the best version of themselves.
I currently work with people aged 18 and over, offering both short-term and long-term talking therapy. I am experienced in working with a wide variety of issues including stress, worry, anxiety and panic, anger, depression and low mood, bereavement and loss, relationships, separation or divorce, self-harm, domestic abuse, suicidal feelings, childhood and family issues, low confidence or self-esteem. I am aware how these issues can impact on our lives, our relationships and how we feel about ourselves.
I have experience of working with students and young adults living away from home for the first time. I am interested in and have experience working with gender and sexuality, and I work firmly within a gay/trans affirmative approach. I have worked with many clients who are exploring their gender, sexuality or who identify as LGBTQ+.
The basis of my work is Person-Centred which means I offer empathy, honesty, and unconditional positive regard. This approach can be beneficial in exploring and understanding your feelings and relationships with others. Counselling can be challenging but also rewarding and empowering, and it is important that you find a counsellor that you feel comfortable working with. Bearing this in mind, feel free to contact me by email without obligation if you have any questions about therapy. I offer a free 20-minute telephone consultation to discuss the support I offer and ensure it is right for you. Once you email me your interest, I’ll aim to get back to you within 24 hours.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
