About me
Life can feel overwhelming when facing loss or change. You may be feeling anxious, low, or alone, even when others are around you.
Support during these difficult times can really make a difference. You don’t have to go through this alone.
As a counsellor, I offer a calm, compassionate presence, providing support through grief, loss, anxiety, and life changes that can feel unbearable
Who I Work With
I support people through change and loss . Losses, such as bereavement, the breakdown of a relationship, redundancy, or when children leave home, can make us feel unsettled and unsure. You may be trying to hold everything together, while something inside feels like it’s falling apart.
Counselling offers a safe, compassionate space to slow things down, be truly heard, and gently find a way forward.
Working Together
Our work together is led by you as you are the expert about yourself. There’s no pressure to have the “right” words and we go at your pace. I offer a space where you can slow things down, feel truly heard, and begin to make sense of what you’re going through.
I welcome your background, culture, and way of being. If aspects of your identity or life experience feel important to explore, we can bring those into the work.
My Approach
I work integratively drawing from Person-Centred Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and mindfulness-based approaches, adapting our work to suit you as an individual.
Sessions
If you’re wondering whether counselling might help, you’re very welcome to get in touch. We can gently explore what you need and whether I’m the right person to support you.
I offer a free 20-minute introductory call, giving you the chance to see if I feel like the right fit for you.

Online and telephone sessions can be UK-wide

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.
