About me
Hi, I am an integrative counsellor with a BA (Hons) in Counselling and Therapeutic Practice. My approach brings together a number of skills to tailor each session to your individual needs.
I have a particular passion for supporting children and young people, due to my own personal experiences. This has shaped the way I work today, with empathy, patience and a strong appreciation of how challenging it can feel to find your place in the world. Alongside my private practice, I work as a Lead Counsellor across primary and secondary schools in Newport supporting young people with a wide range of emotional difficulties and experiences.
I also work with adults, both online and in person, bringing the same warmth, acceptance, and non-judgemental space to explore what is going on for you. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply, I’m here to walk alongside you at your pace. My role isn’t to direct you, but to create space for you to explore what’s going on, build confidence, and find clarity in a way that feels safe and supportive.
If you’re considering counselling and would like to see whether we might be a good fit, I’m always happy to have a chat and answer any questions.
I am a member of the British Association of Counselling Professionals (BACP) and I work within accordance to their ethical principles.

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.
