About me
"
Do you ever lie awake at night because your mind just won't switch off?
Are you replaying conversations, worrying about tomorrow, questioning decisions, or carrying emotions you haven't been able to explore?
Sometimes, overthinking isn't about finding the answers. It can be our minds trying to make sense of experiences, feelings and situations we haven't had the time or space to understand.
Whatever you're going through, you don't need to have all the answers before reaching out for support.
Taking that first step towards counselling can feel daunting, especially if you're used to managing things on your own. You may not know where to begin or even how to put what you're feeling into words. That's okay. You don't have to face everything alone, and your feelings deserve to be heard.
My approach to Counselling
My approach is person-centred, which means I believe you are the expert in your own life. I won't tell you what to do or expect you to have everything figured out.
Instead, I will work alongside you: at your pace, offering empathy, understanding and acceptance in a space where you can feel safe to explore whatever is going on for you.
Counselling isn't about being “fixed.” It's about having the time and space to pause, breathe, feel heard and begin to make sense of things in your own way. Together, we can explore your thoughts and feelings, helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and what matters most to you.
You might be experiencing anxiety, stress, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties or challenges with confidence and self-esteem. Perhaps you're navigating women's health concerns, family or parenting challenges, loss, or simply feeling lost or disconnected from yourself.
Whatever has brought you here, you are welcome.
How I can Support You.
I work with a range of issues, including:
Anxiety and stress
Low mood and depression
Women's health
Mental health and emotional wellbeing
Grief and loss
Confidence and self-esteem
Relationship difficulties
Family and parenting challenges

You don't need to have a specific reason for seeking counselling:
Sometimes, you simply know that something doesn't feel right and would like a space to talk things through.

Taking the First Step
Reaching out for support can feel difficult, but you don't have to wait until things become overwhelming to seek help.
If something here resonates with you, you're welcome to get in touch by phone, email, WhatsApp or message. We can have an initial conversation, and you can decide whether counselling with me feels right for you.
You matter, your experiences matter, and you deserve a space where you feel heard.
Training, qualifications & experience
I work with adults aged 18+ and offer support with:
- Anxiety and stress
- Mental Health
- Depression and low mood
- Grief and bereavement
- Low self-esteem and confidence
- Relationship difficulties

- Life transitions and career changes

Alongside my private practice, I have experience working within community organisations, including Infinity Initiatives, supporting individuals facing a range of emotional and personal challenges, and within a Women’s Centre environment offering support in a compassionate and safe setting. I also now work as a sessional counsellor for Thrive CIC, supporting clients with a wide range of presenting issues.
I also bring lived experience of grief and loss, significant life changes, parenting, caring responsibilities and women's health. These experiences have strengthened my empathy and understanding of the challenges people can face, enabling me to offer an authentic, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you, as a client, can explore your thoughts and feelings.
All of this together has deepened my appreciation of how important it is to feel heard, accepted and understood without judgement.

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.

Taking the step into counselling can feel daunting enough without worrying about the financial side. I believe support should feel accessible, which is why I do offer a sliding scale and have limited lower rates for students and people on lower incomes whenever possible.
