About me
I believe that one of the most basic and powerful human needs is that of being seen and being heard.
Drawing on my own lived experience, I bring a heart-led and deeply compassionate approach to my counselling work. These experiences have informed my practice, strengthened my empathy and guided me towards supporting others through their own experiences. I believe that healing happens through connection, understanding and felt safety.
My work is grounded in compassion and curiosity, recognising that each person’s story is complex, valid and worthy of care.
As a person-centred, trauma-informed counsellor, I support people who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, personal and professional relationship challenges and general mental health concerns. I am here to help you explore the threads of your experiences without judgement and only with compassion. By creating a safe and secure space for you, you can begin to move, step by step, towards making and sustaining the conscious, therapeutic change you are seeking.

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.

Additional information
I aim to offer counselling that is transparent, fair, and accessible, while maintaining a professional and ethical therapeutic service. Session fees are outlined below, with options designed to support different needs and circumstances.
Free Initial Consultation
I offer a free 20-minute telephone consultation following enquiry. This provides an opportunity for you to ask questions, share what brings you to counselling, and get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit—without any obligation to continue.
Standard Session Fees
£40 per 60-minute session
Block Bookings Discount
£35 per 60-minute session when booking a block of six sessions. Block bookings are offered to support continuity and commitment to the therapeutic process and are discussed collaboratively to ensure they feel right for you.
Pay What You Can
I believe that access to counselling should not be limited by financial circumstances. The Pay What You Can option is offered to help make therapeutic support more accessible, recognising that people’s financial situations can change and that seeking support often comes at a vulnerable time.
A small number of Pay What You Can spaces are available and are offered based on individual need and current availability. This option is offered for up to three sessions, followed by a collaborative review between client and counsellor to explore next steps and ongoing support. If this option feels right for you, please get in touch using the contact form to request more information. Your enquiry will be treated with respect, discretion, and without judgement.
