About me

A high achiever with fierce determination & ambition? 

I think we’ll get on just fine…keep reading!

My experience in a nutshell…

  • Prep & Grammar school education with a win mentality, second best isn't an option.
  • An ongoing career in a ruthless music industry as a professional female drummer

Result? 

  • Burnout, exhaustion
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Low self-esteem & confidence
  • Crippling perfectionism
  • Setting high expectations that were impossible to reach
    Constant feelings of failure

Whether it be a high powered career, creative arts, sports and athletics or perhaps being brought up in a society that expects too much - you are not alone. 

As a private practitioner, my therapeutic work is focused on: 

  1. Supporting clients to work out what they want in life rather than what society dictates.
  2. Managing expectations and creating sustainability and healthy balance.
  3. Creating boundaries to maintain control emotionally, physically and socially.

How much longer can and will you grind yourself down? 

Together we will set realistic goals, work through how you’re feeling and work on strengthening your confidence to gain control over your life. 

If this sounds like you, please don’t be afraid to get in touch!

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Key details

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
