About me
Perhaps you've been feeling overwhelmed, struggling with your confidence, or finding it difficult to make sense of things in your life. You might spend a lot of time overthinking, putting others first, or feeling that you should be coping better than you are. Whatever has brought you to counselling, you don't have to work through it all alone.
I'm a person centred and integrative counsellor, offering a compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted as you are. I believe that everyone has their own story, and that having the time and space to explore your thoughts and feelings can help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and what you need.
Having experienced counselling myself, I understand how valuable it can be to have a space where you can explore your feelings, develop self-awareness and begin to make changes in your life. Through my own journey, I've worked on my boundaries and self-esteem and achieved goals I once thought were beyond my reach. This is something I hope to support my clients with too, helping you recognise your own strengths, build confidence and discover what feels possible for you.
I have experience supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, work and family stress, and navigating life changes. I also welcome clients who are autistic, have ADHD or identify as neurodivergent. I recognise that everyone experiences the world differently, and I aim to offer an accepting, flexible space where you can explore your experiences without feeling the need to mask, fit in or explain yourself in a particular way.
My approach is intuitive and guided by the person sitting in front of me. I pay attention to the emotions, experiences and patterns that emerge in our sessions, drawing on my professional knowledge and experience alongside what I notice and sense in the therapeutic relationship. I adapt my approach to your individual needs, working collaboratively with you to help make sense of your experiences and find ways forward that feel right for you.
My hope is that counselling can help you develop greater self-awareness, build confidence and resilience, and feel more able to navigate life's challenges. There is no expectation to be a certain way or to have all the answers.
Sessions are available in a peaceful therapy space, online, or through home visits, offering flexibility to suit your circumstances.
Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting. You don't need to know exactly what to say or where to begin. If something in my profile resonates with you, I warmly invite you to get in touch. We can take things one step at a time and explore whether working together feels right for 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.
