About me
We can all find life hard at times. It can throw up difficulties that feel overwhelming and out of our control. I support adults and teenagers through challenging times and help them to initiate change and restore balance in their lives.
When we experience distress, sadness, loneliness, anxiety or depressed mood, it can feel difficult to bear and leave us feeling powerless. Counselling means that you need not face these issues alone; that you can feel safe and supported.
Combining CBT and a deeper talking therapy, I can help you to have a greater understanding of yourself, your situation and your choices. I am here to help you make sense of the issues you are facing and increase your awareness of the ways in which you can regain power and control over your life.
My sessions offer a warm, confidential, safe space for you to explore your concerns and help to increase your confidence and resilience.
I work with a range of issues including:
Anxiety
Depression
Bereavement
Autism/Asperger Syndrome
Low self esteem
Relationship difficulties
Stress
Transgender
Emotional and Sexual abuse
Not attending school
Self harm
I am passionate about the power that counselling has to change people's lives for the better.

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.
