About me
I am an integrative counsellor supporting adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, bereavement, chronic illness, or the impact of difficult life experiences.
Sometimes you may understand why you are feeling the way you do but still feel stuck, overwhelmed or exhausted. You may have spent a long time coping, adapting to other people’s expectations or appearing to manage while finding things much harder beneath the surface.
I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can explore what is happening for you without judgement or pressure. Rather than focusing only on what might be “wrong”, I am interested in understanding your experiences, what has shaped them and what might help life feel more manageable.
My approach is integrative, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches according to your individual needs. Together we can explore what is happening now, how earlier experiences or relationships may still affect you, patterns that may be repeating, and ways of responding that feel more helpful.
I have lived experience and professional development relating to autism, ADHD and neurodiversity. I understand that years of adapting, masking or trying to meet expectations can affect self-esteem, relationships and emotional wellbeing. My approach is centred on understanding your individual experience rather than viewing difference as something that needs to be corrected.
I also bring lived experience of chronic physical disability, which contributes to my understanding of how health, difference and life circumstances can affect everyday life.
You do not need to be in crisis to come to counselling. You may simply want to understand yourself better, make sense of something that has happened, recognise patterns that keep repeating, or have somewhere you do not need to pretend that everything is fine.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Foundation Degree in Science in Integrative Counselling Practice, awarded with Distinction by the University of Ulster.
My integrative training includes:
- Person-centred counselling
- Psychodynamic approaches
- Cognitive behavioural approaches
My counselling experience includes supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, relationship difficulties and chronic illness. I have also supported women experiencing trauma, domestic abuse, sexual assault, menopause and other life challenges, with an emphasis on empowerment and recovery.
My wider professional background includes disability, addiction and harm reduction, mental health, homelessness, child protection and family intervention. These experiences have contributed to my understanding that our emotional wellbeing cannot always be separated from our relationships, health, circumstances and wider life experiences.
I have undertaken continuing professional development relating to autism, ADHD and neurodiversity and continue to develop my counselling practice through ongoing professional development and regular supervision.
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.
