About me
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck?
You might be struggling with perfectionism, overthinking, low self-confidence, or relationship difficulties. You may also be navigating a loss or life change that has left you feeling unsettled or uncertain.
Individual therapy
I provide a supportive space where you can:
- Explore and make sense of your experiences
- Feel heard and understood
- Process and move through loss or transition
- Build greater self-acceptance and self-compassion
- Reconnect with your strengths and values
- Grow in confidence and find direction
As an integrative therapist and coach, I tailor sessions to your unique needs.
I offer a free introductory call to answer any questions you may have and to see if we’re a good fit to work together. If you'd like more information or have any questions, feel free to visit my website or email me.

My Experience
In order to gain my professionally ‘Accredited’ status from the BACP and EMCC, I have had to demonstrate through extensive client hours, essays and ongoing professional learning that I have high standards of knowledge, experience and development.
My previous experience includes counselling adults in a charitable setting dealing with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, stress, health issues, loss and abuse. In addition, I am experienced in working with students and also adults in bereavement, having been a therapist for a college and a bereavement support organisation.
Before becoming a therapist I worked in adoption for over 10 years helping to find families for children and providing support to adopters going through their adoption journey. I therefore have a range of experience in helping people through challenges.

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.
