About me
I am a Person-centred therapist with a kind and compassionate nature. I bring a wealth of life experience to my work along with my training in counselling, holistic therapies, sports therapy, breathwork and embodiment practices.
Life can be ever so much sometimes and we can feel there is nowhere to turn. Having someone offer us their full, compassionate attention and be witness to our struggles, anxieties and pain without judgment can be incredibly powerful and can support us to move through what is troubling us and to grow.
This is what my therapy will offer you. A space to be all that you are, to feel all that you feel, and to know that you will not be judged but will be fully accepted and understood.
Together we will work at your pace and be curious and kind with everything that is coming up for you. We will gently explore, discuss or challenge thoughts, emotions and patterns so you have a deeper understanding of your issues.
You will learn to cultivate self love and acceptance so that you can meet the inevitable challenges life brings with a flexibility and openness that lets you move forward and flow with life rather than against it.
Whether you're grieving, depressed, anxious, overwhelmed or just completely lost and don't know how to make things better, you don't have to do this alone.
I look forward to working with you when you feel ready. For an intro call, just drop me an email and we can organise a time to suit you.

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.
