About me
I hope that by offering you a safe space to talk, we can begin to explore some of the difficulties you’re facing – whether that’s anxiety, depression, stress, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life.
We’ll begin with a free consultation over the phone and discern what would work best for you – short or long-term work, in person, over the phone, or online. At all times, I will be guided by your needs, and we’ll regularly review our work to ensure you’re getting what you need.
Alongside my counselling work, I am also a trained Clinical Supervisor supporting other counsellors.
I have experience in fast-paced media environments, work with teenagers within secondary schools and I understand many of the complexities that charity and community work can bring.
I also bring the insight of lived experience of navigating life with a family member with Alzheimer’s.
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.
Please get in touch.
Training, qualifications & experience
I always tailor my sessions to your needs, using an integrative model of counselling including PCT and CBT.
I bring experience of working with anxiety, low self esteem, ADHD, anger, depression, relationship difficulties, family problems, abuse, bereavement (including child loss) parenting problems, teenagers & work related issues.
I am able to offer the Rewind Technique, developed by Dr. David Muss, as a safe and effective way to reduce trauma symptoms without needing to relive painful memories. Backed by clinical research and used by NHS professionals, Rewind has shown strong results often in just a few sessions helping people reprocess trauma calmly and move forward with confidence.
I have also completed TA101, the internationally recognised introductory training in Transactional Analysis. It gives me a rich framework for understanding relationship dynamics, communication patterns and the ways we repeat early experiences in the present. I draw on this when it’s helpful for clients; particularly around boundaries, roles, people-pleasing, conflict or stuck patterns.
I'm also a Drawing and Talking Practitioner. This is a safe and gentle therapeutic approach, which provides an effective way for both children and adults to process emotional pain or trauma, that is hard to put into words. Using the power of drawing, this technique allows you to play, by drawing a picture, and process any emotions you are holding internally in a safe and non- confrontational way, working at your own pace.
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.

Further information
How I Work
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.
Lived Experience
I bring the insight of lived experience – including supporting a family member living with Alzheimer’s – which helps me meet clients with compassion, realism and understanding.
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.
