About me
Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you may find yourself feeling stuck, struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, difficult relationships, grief, or the impact of past or present trauma. When challenges accumulate, they can become hard to make sense of alone. You may be looking for a confidential, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can speak openly, feel heard, and begin to understand what is happening for you.
My approach is grounded in empathy, active listening, and respect for your individual pace. I aim to offer a supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences safely.
Together, we can begin to untangle the specific difficulties you are facing, gaining insight into unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour that may have developed over time and how they continue to affect you in the present.
I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and healing. My role is to sit alongside you with care and professionalism, helping you uncover your strengths, build resilience, and move toward meaningful and positive change. Through understanding and collaboration, we can work toward alleviating emotional distress and finding a way forward that 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.
