About me
I worked in the corporate travel world for over 25 years, during this time I came to realise that what I really wanted was to be able to help people. That lead me to start my training to become a counsellor. In 2020 I left the travel world and am now a full time counsellor.
I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, workplace issues and bereavement. I offer a safe space for you to talk, explore and be heard.
I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), this means I am regulated and adhere to a strict code of ethics.
I strive to always be curious and hopeful, I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach is to work collaboratively with the person before me to find what will work best for them. I trained in cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic counselling and have experience of working for a bereavement charity in central London and also for a GP's surgery.
It takes real strength to reach out and ask for help, I find working with my clients a real honour and privilege and together we can start to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support you.
If you have any questions or want to book an initial session please contact me by email or phone. If I am unavailable I will reply back to you as soon as possible.

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.
