About me
You may be considering counselling because you are experiencing a particular difficulty, struggling with difficult emotions or going through a challenging period in your life. Sometimes, though, it can be harder to understand exactly what is wrong. You may simply feel stuck, overwhelmed or not quite yourself.
I’m here to listen and help you work through the difficulties that may be affecting your quality of life, in a supportive, safe and non-judgemental space. Whatever has brought you to counselling, we can take the time to understand what you are experiencing, make sense of your thoughts and feelings, and explore what may be underlying your difficulties
Drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches, I tailor our work to meet your individual needs. Together, we can explore patterns that may be holding you back, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, build confidence and find healthier ways of coping with life’s challenges.
My experience is rooted in trauma-informed counselling, supporting adults who may be struggling with the lasting impact of difficult or distressing experiences. I work with a range of concerns, including anxiety, low mood, PTSD, childhood trauma, sexual and physical violence, relationship difficulties, intimacy and self-worth.
If you would like to find out more about working with me, please get in touch. I offer a free, 15-minute informal telephone conversation where you can ask any questions you may have and get a feel for whether counselling with me might be right for you.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
