About me
*Remote/Online sessions are offered nationwide*
At any stage in life, we can experience changes or moments where it becomes difficult to cope. This can result in feeling stuck and not knowing how to process our thoughts, feelings and experiences. What can make this more difficult is knowing who or how to open up to others or feeling like what you're experiencing is too much for someone to understand. Having a therapist allows you to share all parts of you, parts that are accepted wholeheartedly without shame or judgement, which may not feel possible even with those you feel closest to.
As a therapist, I can assure you, not one part of you is too much and you deserve a space that feels safe, where you can be heard and wholly understood. Often, when we have not experienced this to the extent where we are not judged or minimised, it can be freeing and transformational. Taking the first step to reach out takes courage and it is natural to feel anxieties and uncertainties around this. I have worked with many clients who at the beginning, may have also felt similar anxieties and uncertainties about beginning therapy.
I am committed to working with you in a compassionate, warm and empathic manner. Working in this manner alongside with my therapeutic approach has granted me the privilege of witnessing the lasting and positive changes clients have made to their lives.
As a Person-Centred and integrative counsellor I see your experiences as your greatest authority, it is something that can only truly be understood and felt by you. I aim to work with you in a manner that is warm and empathic and listen to ensure you feel truly heard and understood.
It is difficult to outline what can be expected in sessions as each clients needs and experiences are unique. In our first session, I will aim to understand your needs, goals and expectations of therapy and try to meet these to ensure you receive sessions which will benefit you in the best possible manner. I am committed to providing you with a safe and welcoming space and I aim to walk with you through the journey of empowerment and self-discovery counselling can bring about.

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.
