About me
Coping with overwhelming thoughts and emotions can feel like a daily battle, especially when anxiety, self-doubt, or painful past experiences keep resurfacing. Reaching out for support is a brave step towards understanding what’s happening beneath the surface and finding a way forward that feels more manageable and hopeful. Whether you’re feeling stuck, lost, consumed by worry, or simply need space to process and heal, I’m here to help.
I am a fully qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, with extensive experience supporting people of all ages, from young adults to seniors, through a wide range of challenges. I specialise in working with anxiety in all its forms, including generalised anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, health anxiety, phobias, and the deep, hidden fears that can keep us feeling trapped.
While my foundation is Person-Centred therapy, which places your experiences, autonomy, and inner resources at the heart of our work, I also draw on psychodynamic principles to help us gently explore how early life experiences and unconscious patterns may be shaping your thoughts, feelings, and relationships today. This can be especially powerful for those struggling with anxiety, as we work together to uncover its deeper roots and break free from unhelpful cycles. When helpful, I also integrate CBT techniques to give you practical tools and strategies alongside deeper self-exploration.
I believe the therapeutic relationship is key. My aim is to walk alongside you at your pace, offering a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you can truly be heard and understood. Together, we can explore what’s holding you back, strengthen your emotional resilience, and empower you to move towards the calmer, more fulfilling life you deserve.

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.
