About me
Person-Centred Counsellor in Norwich, telephone & online
Main focus: major life changes and transitions, grief, bereavement, and end-of-life
You might be feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or stuck while navigating a major life change — rebuilding a life after loss or separation, a relationship ending, a medical diagnosis, retirement, or another big transition. Or perhaps you're bereaved or supporting someone who is dying.
I help adults feeling overwhelmed by change or grief find their way forward. People appreciate my steady, considered, and trustworthy presence. If that sounds like what you're looking for, I might be the right counsellor for you.
You're not alone if you're experiencing:
- Major life transitions (career change, retirement, relocation, children leaving home, identity shifts)
- Rebuilding a new life after separation, loss, or relationship ending
- Bereavement of any kind (recent or in the past)
- Anticipatory grief while caring for someone who is dying
- Living with serious illness or confronting mortality
- Feeling stuck, numb, irritable, or disconnected after loss
- Wanting to process difficult experiences before moving forward
How person-centred counselling works
This approach is backed by decades of research. I won't act as an expert directing you — instead, we work together at your pace so you can discover what your experiences mean to you and what comes next.
In our sessions, I will:
- Listen carefully to understand your experience as fully as possible
- Accept you as you are right now, without judgement
- Be genuine, honest, and open
You might find it helps you:
- Feel heard and accepted, so you can clarify what you're experiencing
- Reconnect with who you are and what matters to you
- Begin trusting yourself again
A little about my background
Alongside my counselling qualification, I'm trained as an end-of-life doula, having supported people through the Anne Robson Trust. This means I appreciate both the emotional impact of grief and the practical complexities of end-of-life — whether yours or someone close to you.
Where and how we can meet
I offer in-person sessions in central Norwich (St. George's Works, Colegate), plus online and telephone appointments across Norfolk and the UK.
Taking the first step
Email me to book an initial session. I aim to respond within 24 hours on weekdays. Our first meeting will be a chance to get to know each other and talk a bit more about what brings you to counselling, without any pressure.
What previous clients have said:
"Everything has changed for me. I look forward to the future and feel more comfortable with my past and how it affected me. I feel like I can move on finally."
"Therapy has taken a weight off my shoulders."
"The whole process of talking about myself is painful, however I felt very safe."
"I now have more confidence in my own thoughts and feel more grounded."
"Thank you for giving me the chance to be myself without judgement."

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.
