About me
Sometimes events in life can throw us off course, and sometimes the difficulties we carry aren’t tied to a singular event, but to a more subtle, long-standing sense of being too much, not enough, or somehow fundamentally at fault. Perhaps you’re driven by a harsh inner-critic, feel overly responsible for others, or struggle with shame that doesn’t seem to shift no matter how hard you try.
Whether you're facing a particular difficulty, seeking deeper healing, or simply want space to share the joys and stresses of being human, you needn't do so alone. I honour the courage it takes to invite another into your world and am committed to helping you find your own way forward.
My work is trauma-informed and grounded in a rich theoretical framework, allowing me to adapt my approach to your specific needs. As a relational psychotherapeutic counsellor, I believe the relationship between us is an integral part of the process. Patterns that shape your life and relationships may gently emerge in our work together, offering us opportunities to understand them with curiosity and compassion, so they can begin to loosen their hold.
I have supported clients from many backgrounds, facing a wide range of struggles such as anxiety, depression, thoughts of suicide, and the lasting impact of difficult early relationships and complex-trauma.
I understand how important it is for you to feel safe and able to trust I will not judge you for what you share, and I appreciate this may take some time to develop. I aim to create and foster a space in which all of you feels welcome - the light, the dark, and everything in between - at a pace that feels right for you.
If you’d like to explore counselling with me, do get in touch. We can then arrange a free 20-minute phone call to see if I’m well placed to support you at this time.
Training, qualifications & experience
BA (Hons) Integrative-Relational Counselling
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.
