About me
I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about your thoughts, feelings and experiences, at your own pace. Life can sometimes feel difficult to navigate, and there may be times when you feel anxious, low, stressed, overwhelmed or unsure of yourself. You may be facing challenges in your relationships, going through a significant life change, struggling with difficult emotions, or simply feeling that things aren't quite right. Sometimes, having a space where you can talk freely and feel genuinely listened to can make a difference.
My approach is gentle, accepting and led by you. I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard, understood and valued, without fear of judgement. I will work alongside you with empathy, compassion and respect, helping you explore your feelings, make sense of your experiences and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. There is no expectation to have all the answers or know exactly where to begin; we can take things one step at a time, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Our experiences and relationships can shape how we feel about ourselves and the world around us. At times, we may find ourselves repeating familiar patterns, putting others first, struggling with boundaries or finding it difficult to understand our own needs. I am passionate about supporting people through these challenges, helping them explore what may be contributing to their difficulties and develop a kinder, more compassionate relationship with themselves.
I have experience supporting both young people and adults, recognising that everyone's experiences are unique. Whatever has brought you to counselling, I aim to provide a safe and supportive space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, explore what matters to you and begin to find a way forward that feels right for you.
I understand that reaching out for counselling can feel daunting, particularly if you are used to managing things on your own. You don't have to wait until things feel unbearable to seek support, and you don't need to know exactly what you want to talk about. If you feel ready to take that first step, I would welcome the opportunity to work alongside 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.
