About me

In person and Online sessions currently available.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw upon different approaches, adapting therapy to suit you. Together, we can find a way of working that feels supportive and right for you.

Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to face it alone.

People come to counselling for many different reasons. You might be feeling anxious, low or overwhelmed, noticing patterns you can’t seem to shift, or going through a change that hit harder than you anticipated. Perhaps relationships feel strained, your sense of self worth has dropped, or there’s a gap between how people see you and how you feel within. Sometimes, all we know is that something isn’t right and we want space to examine this.

I offer a safe, reflective space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. I will listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, offer tools, help you to raise awareness of your patterns, and aid you in reframing your thoughts and perspective. My priority is to support you in feeling clearer, to grow and be in control of the direction of your life.

I offer 50-minute counselling sessions online and by telephone, with options for both short-term and longer-term work depending on your needs.

To begin, we can arrange a free, brief introductory phone or video call. This gives you the opportunity to share what has brought you to therapy, think about the kind of support you’re looking for, and decide whether I feel like the right fit for you.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

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).

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
