About me
We all experience times when life feels difficult. You may be feeling anxious, finding relationships hard or noticing the same patterns repeating themselves without really understanding why. Therapy can be a chance to pause, make sense of what's happening and begin to understand yourself in a different way.
I tailor therapy to you and your individual needs. I don't believe there is a single way to approach counselling because every person brings their own experiences and challenges.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, identity issues and life transitions. Whatever brings you to counselling, my aim is to offer a genuine, accepting relationship where you feel able to speak openly, without pressure or judgement.
I know that choosing a counsellor can feel like a big decision. If you're wondering whether we'd be a good fit, I offer a free 15-minute introductory call where we can talk about what you're looking for and answer any questions you may have.

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.
