About me

About Me

I am a compassionate counsellor offering a humanistic approach rooted in person-centred therapy. With over 20 years’ experience working relationally within holistic settings, I began my counselling journey in 2016 and progressed from Level 2 through to Level 5 training.

Alongside my core training, I have completed specialist CPD in eating disorders, anger management, and trauma, supporting clients with complex and sensitive experiences. My work is also informed by transactional analysis and attachment theory, helping to explore relational patterns and early experiences that may be impacting the present.

At the heart of my practice is creating a safe, non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted. I don’t offer quick fixes or advice; instead, I work collaboratively, offering empathy, compassion, and support as you explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace.

I feel privileged to witness the courage and insight that can emerge through the therapeutic process and am deeply committed to supporting those who entrust me with their stories.

Who I Work With

I work with adults, children, and young people who may be experiencing:

Anxiety and low mood

Depression

Self-esteem and confidence difficulties

Eating disorders and disordered eating

Anger and emotional regulation challenges

Trauma and relational difficulties

I have experience working with children and young people aged 11–17 within both school and agency settings, as well as adults in agency-based counselling services.

If you are looking for a calm, supportive space to explore what’s going on for you, I would warmly welcome you to get in touch.

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.
