About me

Supporting Young People & Adults with Anxiety with tailored counselling based on your unique needs

Living with constant worry and anxiety can be overwhelming, impacting your work, relationships, and overall well-being. Understanding that everyone's journey is unique, my tailored counselling approach offers the support and guidance you need to navigate life's challenges with empathy and compassion.

​How Counselling Can Help​

Counselling provides a safe and confidential environment where you can express your thoughts and feelings openly. Together, we will explore the underlying causes of your anxiety and develop personalised strategies to manage and alleviate its impact on your life.​

Support for Adults​

If the pressures of daily life are leaving you drained and overwhelmed, I'm here to support you  regain control. Whether you're dealing with work-related stress, relationship issues, or family concerns, our collaborative approach will focus on restoring balance and well-being in your life.​

​Support for Young People​

For young individuals grappling with anxiety, low self-esteem, or academic pressures, specialised support is essential. With experience working with young people aged 11 and above, I offer guidance to help them build resilience, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and navigate their unique challenges with confidence.​

Finding the Right Counsellor​

I understand that seeking counselling can be a daunting step. It's crucial to find a counsellor who listens, understands, and adapts to your unique needs. My approach is personalised, ensuring that we work at a pace comfortable for you, fostering a supportive and non-judgmental environment throughout our journey together.​ 

Navigating anxiety can be challenging, and I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to our sessions. As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to the highest ethical standards, ensuring our work together remains focused on your unique journey and needs. My approach is client-centered, providing a compassionate and professional space tailored to support you.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
