About me
If you’re considering therapy, you might already sense that something needs to shift. Acknowledging that takes courage.
I work with people who are ready to look honestly at what’s happening in their lives, including the parts that feel difficult to talk about. You might be stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, navigating grief or trauma, struggling in relationships, or questioning your identity or sexuality. Perhaps the ways you’ve coped are no longer serving you. Or you simply want space to explore who you are and what you want.
I offer a space that’s both warm and down to earth. I bring genuine curiosity and care, alongside a willingness to ask direct questions and offer challenge when it serves your growth. We’ll honour what’s helped you survive while exploring what feels ready to change. Humour often finds its way into our work, as does the kind of honesty that helps things unstick.
I’m an integrative counsellor, drawing mainly on psychodynamic and person-centred approaches. Psychodynamic work explores how early experiences can shape adult life; person-centred therapy is grounded in the belief that we grow within compassionate, supportive relationships.
I adapt how I work based on what you actually need rather than following one model rigidly. The therapeutic relationship, built on trust and authenticity, is at the heart of the process.
I work with people from diverse backgrounds, genders, and sexual orientations. What matters is your willingness to engage honestly in the work.
An initial session gives us both a chance to talk about what’s brought you here and see if working together feels right. Sessions are usually weekly, either for an agreed number or open-ended, with regular check-ins.

Professional Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling (Mary Ward Centre)
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.
