About me
Individual and Couples therapy
There are times when life can seem overwhelming and difficult to cope with. At these moments we all need support and counselling can give you, or your relationship, the time and space to explore difficult issues and find new ways of being.
So whether it’s a specific event or ongoing difficulty such as anxiety, depression, trauma, fear, anger or relationship difficulties that you want to confront, counselling (individual or couples) can allow you to take back control and move forward with your life.
Attending counselling is about your well-being, self exploration and self development as well as learning new strategies and coping mechanisms to deal with difficult and complex events in your life.
I am committed to inclusion and working with you to understand the impact of difference upon the self and within society. I have experience and interest, both professional and personal, in exploring diversity and inclusion including neurodiversity, autism, sexuality, sex and gender. I am an LGBTQ+ ally.
My role is to be alongside you as you encounter current issues, past pain, as you learn more about yourself, your relationships and develop the courage and skills to make positive changes and empowering decisions.
Primarily I work in a relational manner, aware that the quality of our relationship will have the greatest impact. This means I will work hard to develop a trusting and collaborative relationship that gives you the safety you need to encounter current and past relationships. Together we will become aware of the impact of our counselling relationship in the 'here and now' and use this to build emotional resilience and strength.
I believe we all have the ability to realise our potential and live a life full of rich abundance. Together we can uncover this potential and discover who you can be.
I work from BS7 and offer both indoor 'face to face' and outdoor Walk and Talk sessions.

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.
