About me
You may have searched for a counsellor/therapist without really knowing why - you may just feel you need something/someone? You may even feel overwhelmed right now. Life can feel hard at times - counselling can help you uncover your feelings and discover what you really want/need out of your life. Helping you understand and make sense of yourself; your emotions, your past, your pain/anguish/fears/grief/anxieties. Therapy approach is tailored to your needs.
I believe that in even the most challenging times, together we can work through them to promote therapeutic change, healing, growth and acceptance. To help make life feel just that little bit easier - allowing you to become the person you are truly meant to be, not who others may have needed you to be.
I offer a trauma-aware warm, empathic, friendly, understanding environment for you to be you. One-to-one sessions in a safe space for you to explore your emotions, talking about anything you wish, it is your time. With experience working with stress/anxiety/depression/ addiction/complex mental health issues/common life problems/ relationship breakdowns/ADHD/family conflict/bereavement/low self confidence. Being human.
Incorporating somatic approaches to regulate the nervous system when working with negative and traumatic experiences to help safely strengthen the healing process. Your body can often hold the pain before the brain knows how to make sense of it. Those tight shoulders, the knot in your stomach when a certain topic comes up, the tightness in your chest? The body holds it, together we can work with releasing that stored energy and discover what your body may be wanting to let you know, make sense of, and let go of.
You are most certainly worth the care and attention that therapy can offer. The time to really connect to whatever it is that is going on for you, helping you find the tools to get through it, increasing confidence and self-esteem, reconnecting to yourself openly and honestly. Therapy aims to empower you to work towards becoming your own therapist.
Reaching out is one of the bravest decisions you can make and I value that - I will give you that space to feel heard and understood. That alone can be a turning point.
It's never too late to make a change.

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.
