About me

Congratulations on taking the brave, first step in your healing journey. I want you to know that however you are feeling right now, you are welcome here…
 

I believe you are worthy, you are enough, you matter and you deserve to feel heard. It is important to have a counsellor who can see that in you, (even if you can’t see it yourself).

My approach is all about the whole person with a special interest in working somatically, because I believe our bodies have their own way of signalling when something needs our attention. As your counsellor I can support you by working collaboratively with you in a holistic way - looking in depth at the whole you. Your needs, your decisions, your thoughts, your emotions and your behaviours– you are at the heart of each of our sessions together. 
 
I offer online and in person counselling, bringing elements of visualisations, meditations, creative work, breathwork and emotional freedom techniques to aid you in your healing journey. My aim is to empower you to rebalance your mind, body & soul and take control of your life. 

I incorporate my values into our session rooted in compassion and connection to develop our relationship and support you on your path rediscovering your true authentic self. I'll be with you and stand by your side as we journey through the ups and downs of your life together.

-       Exhausted from feeling overwhelmed with stress and anxiety affecting your ability to function in your everyday life?

-       Are you feeling a sense of loss, stuck or disconnected from your purpose?

-       Have you noticed that you are have never been able to ask for help or delegate jobs? For some reason it feels selfish and uneasy to have your own needs met. 

-       Do you wish to explore and regulate your emotions in a way that you feel seen and heard?

-       Do you want to change your behaviours within your family dynamic or figure out how to hold boundaries?

-       Do you wish to be more present in your everyday life, feel more grounded, find joy and motivation in what once brought you passion?

If any other the above resonated with you, I can help you to reconnect with your inner self. Together we can look at changing any negative beliefs and behaviours you may have adopted due to a trauma or over time. I can help you to release physical tension, pain and emotional blocks that may be holding you back from reaching your true potential. Help you to relax, feel more at peace and re-energise your nervous system and gain a deeper understanding of yourself. 
 
Whatever your reason for counselling, I would love to work with you to figure out who you are, what makes you feel fulfilled to live your authentic life.

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy

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.

Areas of counselling I deal with

Other areas of counselling I deal with

As a Reiki Master, I am able to offer you online, distance or face to face reiki healing services. Our face to face sessions would have to be seated as my room isn't able to fit a table in. However, this won't affect the treatment you will recieve - Reiki always knows where it needs to go. If you would like to know more about how Reiki can support you in your life please feel free to email me.

I am soon to be a qualified Breathwork Coach and am on my journey to become an EFT Practitioner. In which I will be able to offer as separate sessions or as part of your therapeutic journey.

As a highly sensitive person myself, I have a special interest in energy healing and working on a somatic level to help empower you, to reconnect to your authenticity and remove blockages that may be in your way.
