About me

- ONLINE THERAPY VIA ZOOM
- OUTDOOR WALKING THERAPY

I specialise in helping people manage anxiety, build confidence and develop more present moment awareness. 

Is anxiety getting in the way of your happiness?

Are you feeling less confident than you used to?

I am here to help.

Through a combination of self-exploration and presence practice I help you make more sense of how you experience the world and your place in it; your relationships with the key people in your life; your beliefs about yourself and others.  Together we uncover the unconscious patterns that have been holding you back so you can make more conscious choices for yourself and live with more freedom and happiness.

Much of the stress and anxiety we experience is an echo of the past that we replay in our mind. By plugging into the present moment we can free ourselves from this cycle by becoming more ok with what’s actually here rather than fearing what we expect to be here. 

I help you become more comfortable with the uncomfortable

I offer online counselling on Zoom and outdoor Walking Therapy in local parks and woodland in the Fleet area.

Walking therapy is much like traditional face to face counselling but we meet outdoors for a walk instead of sitting opposite each other in a room. Being out in nature can provide obvious health benefits as well as enhance the therapy itself. It can offer a very creative and dynamic way of experiencing therapy. 

About Me
I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor and Senior Practitioner in Coaching , specialising in existential psychotherapy and mindfulness. I have over 12 years’ experience as a counsellor and nearly 30 years’ experience in mindfulness practice. With a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, I provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your inner world, process emotions, and develop practical tools for personal growth.

Mindfulness as a Foundation
Mindfulness is at the heart of my practice. I believe that by nurturing present-moment awareness and cultivating a non-reactive, compassionate mindset, you can find greater clarity, balance, and purpose in your life. Through mindfulness and presence practice, I guide you in developing skills to navigate challenges, manage stress, and enhance overall well-being.

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.

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.
