About me
Empowering You Through Understanding and Acceptance
Counselling offers a unique relationship that creates a supportive environment for you to gain insight and embrace who you are and how you connect with others. My practice is dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgemental space for those seeking support. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, loss, isolation, a lack of meaning, or a sense of hopelessness, we will work together to help you manage these challenges and build resilience for future obstacles.
I adopt a primarily person-centred approach to help you address the issues that bring you to counselling. Together, we can explore strategies, coping mechanisms, and options to help you make informed decisions about your life. Above all, being heard and understood is the most powerful tool in counselling.
Imagine being able to express your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment, while being accepted for who you are. My goal as a counsellor is to ensure you feel heard and to work alongside you on your journey.
If you believe we could work well together, please reach out for a free initial chat via phone, email, or WhatsApp. During this conversation, we can discuss your goals for counselling. If you decide to schedule an appointment, we can usually arrange it within a week. Each session lasts 50 minutes.
There is no minimum or maximum number of sessions required. Once you contact me and we've established what you want from counselling, I will email you my 'way of working,' detailing my confidentiality policy, data storage practices, complaints procedure, and everything you need to know about your sessions. If you're happy with these, we can then arrange your first appointment.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

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.
