About me
Life can sometimes feel like a lot to carry. You may be feeling anxious or overwhelmed, struggling with your confidence or relationships, grieving a loss, or perhaps you're worried about your teenager.
You don't need to have all the right words – we can find them together.
I'm a warm and compassionate counsellor working with adults and teenagers. I offer face-to-face counselling in Kingswinford, as well as online across the UK.
We'll begin with a free consultation over the phone and talk about what might work best for you, whether that's short or long-term counselling, in person, online or over the phone. I'll be guided by your needs, and we'll regularly review our work to make sure you're getting what you need.
I'm compassionate, but also inquisitive and comfortable with difficult conversations and emotions. I have experience working with teenagers within secondary schools, as well as experience in fast-paced media environments and charity and community settings.
I became a counsellor because I know the impact therapy has had in my own life. I bring all of my experience with me, a genuine heart for supporting others, and it would be my privilege to walk alongside you on your journey.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I tailor my sessions to you, working integratively with a Person-Centred foundation alongside CBT and other approaches where they may be helpful.
I have experience supporting people with anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, low mood and depression, relationship and family difficulties, abuse, bereavement (including child loss), parenting difficulties, ADHD, issues affecting teenagers and work-related stress.
I am also a qualified Clinical Supervisor, with an Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision, and offer a supportive, reflective space for both qualified counsellors and counsellors in training.
I am trained in the Rewind Technique, developed by Dr David Muss. Rewind is a brief trauma-focused approach designed to help reduce distress associated with traumatic memories without requiring you to describe or repeatedly revisit the traumatic event in detail. We can discuss whether this approach may be appropriate for you as part of our work together.
I have also completed TA101, the internationally recognised introductory training in Transactional Analysis.
I have also worked in the media and charity sector.

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I have a particular interest in faith and spirituality and I'm always happy to explore this within counselling if it's important to you.
I have experience supporting teenagers and young people within a secondary school setting, including those experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, friendship and relationship difficulties, bullying, identity issues and the pressures of school and growing up.
Bereavement is another important area of my work, and I have experience supporting people and families following the death of a child.
I also have lived experience of navigating chronic illness within a family, which gives me an understanding of some of the emotional impact that long-term illness can have on individuals and those around them.

My approach is warm, collaborative and integrative, blending person-centred counselling with practical tools where helpful.
We go at your pace, with space for reflection, honesty, and gentle challenge when it’s needed.
I work with adults of all ages and backgrounds, offering both short-term and long-term therapy in person, online, or over the phone.
What I Can Help With
I support people with a wide range of experiences, including:
- anxiety, depression and low mood
- stress, burnout and overwhelmed
- relationship and family difficulties
- grief, loss and major life changes
- long-term or chronic health conditions
- feeling stuck, lost or unsure of the next step
I also have extensive experience supporting carers and those carrying the emotional weight of walking alongside a family member with Alzheimer’s.
Experience
My background includes working within Secondary Schools, supporting people with chronic health conditions, and understanding the pressures of fast-paced media, charity and community environments.
These settings have shaped my ability to be steady, adaptable and attuned to what people need.
Clinical Supervision
As a qualified Clinical Supervisor, I offer supportive and reflective supervision for counsellors, school staff and professionals in caring roles. My supervision style is encouraging, relational and grounded in ethical practice.
