Training, qualifications & experience
With years of experience working in mental health charities, I’ve supported adults navigating overwhelm, burnout, trauma, anxiety, depression, low self‑esteem, bereavement, self‑harm, suicidal thoughts, abuse, rape and sexual violence. Many of the people I work with feel emotionally exhausted, stuck, or under constant pressure to keep going.
I know that every person’s experience is unique. What feels supportive for one individual may not feel right for another — and that’s completely okay. This is why I don’t take a one‑size‑fits‑all approach to counselling.
Instead, I offer calm, steady support to help you make sense of what’s weighing on you, understand what you need, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been lost under stress or responsibility. You already hold the answers within; my role is to help you uncover them with clarity, compassion and grounding.
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.

Additional information
I offer appointments at 10am, 11am, 12pm and 1pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays. These quieter daytime sessions often suit parents after school drop‑off, shift workers, people working from home, or anyone who needs support during the day.
Therapy is available online or by telephone, depending on what feels most comfortable for you.
If you reach out, I’ll always make first contact via email — please check your Junk or Spam folder just in case my reply ends up there. Once you’ve received my email, we’ll arrange a convenient time for your initial telephone consultation.
Your first 15‑minute consultation is free. It’s a chance for us to connect, explore whether we’re the right fit, and answer any questions you may have.
Your first full session builds on that conversation, giving us space to explore your needs, expectations and what you hope to gain from therapy.
