About me
As a compassionate and seasoned BACP Registered Counsellor, I specialise in assisting individuals in navigating life's challenges with empathy and expertise. With a deep understanding of human psychology and neuro diversity, I provide a safe space for clients to explore their emotions, gain insight, and achieve positive change.
My therapeutic approach integrates various techniques tailored to meet each client's unique needs. Whether it's cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, or person-centred therapy, I adapt my methods to align with clients' preferences and goals. I have successfully helped many people realise, manage, and overcome various mental health and life challenges.
I mainly offer online and telephone counselling sessions to make therapy accessible to anyone with an internet connection or a phone. Your journey toward healing and personal growth begins with a simple step — please feel free to contact me anytime.
I also offer a reduced rate of £45 for counselling students.

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.
