About me
I work with adults and young people over 18 offering personalised and confidential support with stress, various anxiety disorders, depression, low mood, and low self-esteem.
I am a registered member of the BACP. Alongside supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression and stress, I specialise in working with young adults to explore questions around identity, purpose, and the direction they want their lives to take. If you are struggling to find your path, to make meaningful decisions, or to build a life that feels authentic to you, we can work together to help you move forward with greater confidence and self-understanding.
Before qualifying as a counsellor, I worked in the legal field for many years and practised as a private client lawyer for more than a decade. My background has given me a real understanding of the pressures and expectations that can come with professional and corporate life and how this can affect wellbeing. I bring those insights into my counselling work to offer a supportive space for individuals managing the challenges of modern life.
Practice description
I am an integrative therapist, drawing on person-centred and psychodynamic theories to tailor my approach to meeting your needs as an individual.
Building a relationship of trust and understanding is central to our work together. I can offer you a confidential space where you can step away from the demands and expectations of your everyday life, reconnect with your authentic self and rediscover what matters most to you. I work with kindness, compassion and respect for your autonomy. My aim is to collaborate with you to understand the challenges you are facing and support you in finding greater clarity, confidence, and a path towards the life you want to create.

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.
