About me
Contacting a counsellor or psychotherapist can be the most challenging first step, so well done on making it this far.
My aim with all clients is to create an inviting and empathic space, for you to feel as comfortable as possible to open up.
In our sessions, we will explore what’s going on beneath the surface, so you can walk away after our work with sustainable change having been made.
Together, we will look at patterns that you're unhappy with, focus on what's happening for you in the here and now as well as work hard on how we can get you into the headspace where you want to be.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a person-centred, BACP registered counsellor, with several years of experience, across private practice and the charity sector, supporting clients with emotional challenges, including anxiety, low self-esteem and feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns.
From September 2026-July 2027, I am undergoing my Level 5 Psychotherapy qualification as well, through CPTA.
My work is informed by ongoing professional development and I am committed to offering a thoughtful, ethical and supportive space for each person I work with.
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 a free 30-minute consultation over the phone after you have initially contacted me about working together. Here you can tell me what is going on for you and I can tell you what it will be like to work with me. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the process. This will help you to make an informed decision about whether having me as your counsellor is the best decision for you at this time.
If you would like to work together, we shall select a regular weekly time slot and I will send you an online meeting link for our first session together.
If you are a full-time student, trainee counsellor, or are unemployed, I do offer a concessionary fee of £25.00.
I also offer concessionary rates of £25.00 for key workers, those on a low income (under £15k annually), OAP's (age 66+) and refugees.

Reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, especially if this is the first time you're speaking to someone.
There’s no pressure. Just a chance to be heard.
