About me
Counselling can be an expensive undertaking, yet can be transformative to people's lives. And yet there is minimal public health provision for it. I aim to provide counselling at rates that are affordable to most people. My standard rate is £50/hour, but I can offer concessionary rates for those on low income and unable to afford this.
If you are feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or impacted by loss, I can help. You may feel anxiety’s impact in every corner of life—struggling to manage daily stress, experiencing racing thoughts, or feeling a constant sense of worry, or low mood. You may feel stuck, unable to move forward due to overwhelming fears or doubts, and may struggle with sleep or motivation. You may be crushed by loss, wondering how to go on, what the future may hold, and how to navigate your new reality.
I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgemental space to help you explore and manage what is happening for you. I use an integrative approach, blending various therapeutic methods to suit each person's needs, including Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Cognitive Based Therapy (CBT). This might involve using tools and techniques to understand and manage your anxieties, or it may involve examining your childhood experiences, or identifying unconscious patterns to uncover deeper insights into your thoughts and behaviours. When beneficial, I integrate mindfulness practices to help manage difficult emotions.
I came to psychotherapy practice from my own experiences of loss, and the enormous impact this had upon me. Therapy helped me to manage my anxieties, and to ground me in the new reality I faced. This was a transformative process, deepening my sense of empathy and understanding for other people, and consequently I made the decision to turn away from a lifetime in business to train as a psychotherapist myself.
I am dedicated to supporting clients through life's challenges, helping them build resilience, gain self-awareness, re-balance their lives, and form healthier relationships. I believe in everyone's potential for growth and am committed to guiding clients on their personal journeys toward well-being.

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).
