About me
Are you living your life in black and white? I can help you bring everything back to colour and live life to the full. Do you feel stuck, helpless, broken-hearted, depressed, or anxious?
Whether you're a child, adolescent, or adult, I can help you:
-Overcome obstacles: I use evidence-based strategies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to equip you with practical tools for lasting change.
-Heal past wounds: Explore the root causes of your struggles and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
-Strengthen relationships: Build deeper connections with yourself and others through self-awareness and attachment theory.
-Embrace a brighter future: Experience a sense of calm, clarity, and purpose.
My unique approach includes:
Personalised therapy: Tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Safe and supportive space: A confidential environment where you can be yourself, providing a sense of security and comfort.
Outdoor therapy: Walk and talk your way to healing and insight.
For young minds, I offer a child-friendly therapy that uses playful and effective techniques, making the therapeutic process more engaging and beneficial for children.
Taking that first step
Call, text, or email me to set up an initial session. In the initial session, either online or in person, we will talk about you, your background, and what you want from counselling. It allows us to get to know each other and explore whether counselling is the right choice for you.

I am also a holistic therapist, having qualified in body workbodyworknty years ago. I examine the effects of stress on the body as a whole.
I have previously worked for the NHS in a nursing capacity. Within that role, I offered emotional support to people experiencing trauma as well as facing life-changing conditions.
My counselling experience spans a wide age range, from 8 to 92. Clients have approached me with a variety of issues, from needing support at university to coping with domestic abuse and divorce. I also have extensive experience working with clients with ADHD and on the autistic spectrum. This breadth of experience ensures that I can cater to your specific needs, regardless of your age.
I specialise in supporting women who are survivors of abusive relationships and help them to rebuild their lives. I have previously volunteered in a women's refuge and have helped survivors of narcissist abuse.
I work for the Dorset Children's Foundation, counselling parents with children with additional needs and neurodiverse children. I have also previously volunteered for the Leonardo Trust, counselling carers.
I allow my clients to explore their feelings, including their relationship with the person they care for. I help the carer/parent find their solutions and make decisions about their life.
As a Registered Member of the MBACP, I am committed to the BACP's Ethical Framework. This means that I prioritise safety, ethics, and confidentiality. You can trust that I will handle your personal information and emotional well-being with the utmost care and respect.
I am registered with Bupa
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.
