About me
Do you feel anxious...overwhelmed… exhausted… stuck… wanting to run… scared… angry… or numb?
My life journey has been with a fair number of detours and challenges. I am incredibly grateful for the support I had from counsellors when I struggled to keep going.
I would like to offer to you the same support. I provide a space, free of judgement, warm and compassionate, where you can make sense of your emotions and regain control of your life.
My belief is that we all have the wisdom (gut feeling) within us to know what we need and what is good for us. But that can get lost, we might have been "talked out of it". Circumstances might mean that we can’t act on our intuition. Or we have been told that what we need or how we are is “wrong”, too much. So we adapt, put a mask on, exhaust ourselves trying to proof that we are good enough. This can leave us constantly anxious that someone might see behind the façade.
I would like to provide you with the space to make sense of what is going on for you, reconnect to your gut feeling. I would like to support you to find out what you need and what is best for you, aiming to find better ways of coping and relating to yourself and others.
For therapy to work it is essential for you to find someone you can feel safe with and connect to. Come and talk to me, find out whether I could be that person.
I offer 30 min free phone or video appointments or a 30 min face to face appointment for £20 to get to know me.

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.
