MBACP, FdSc Integrative Counsellor

About me

Our initial consultation is FREE. If life had a complaints department, most of us would have called by now. Having the right support can help you find a way through hard times. I’m a warm, grounded, straightforward psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, and fellow practitioners as a clinical supervisor. No psychobabble, just real connection, authentic care, gentle challenge, and practical perspective. I work with people who feel anxious, uncertain, or lost. Whether it's family, work or relationship troubles, grief, low confidence, or past experiences that keep showing up uninvited - I’ll bring a mixture of warmth, curiosity, and down-to-earth human connection to help you move forward.

Alongside general counselling, I have particular experience and interest in: helping people feel less anxious and grow in confidence, supporting individuals and couples with relationships and communication, navigating conflict calmly and constructively, pregnancy loss and grief, and providing thoughtful, supportive clinical supervision.

How I Work

Whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or growth, I offer confidential, compassionate and effective psychotherpy. My natural style is warm yet honest, helping you navigate personal and professional challenges with depth, insight, and practical strategies.

I wholeheartedly care for each individual or couple that I work with. I intentionally maintain a smaller client load to ensure I know you deeply, remember the details of our conversations, and provide truly personalised support. You are never just a number to me; you are cherished. I am fully engaged, present, and invested in your growth and healing. With a caring yet straightforward approach, I work to support, challenge, and empower you in ways that create real, lasting change.

As a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) (reg. 375993). 

More About Me

If you'd like to find out whether I could be the right therapist for you, why not drop me an email, text, or give me a call? Before we decide to work together, we will meet for an assessment session free of charge, so that we can get to know each other and discuss what you need from counselling. There's no obligation to continue with paid sessions after this meeting.

Training, qualifications & experience

My Qualifications & Experience

I graduated with Distinction from the University of Gloustershire in Intergrative Counselling in 2018. Since then, I have qualified as an Advanced Clinical Supervisor, overseeing the work of fellow experienced practitioners and counselling students. I am also a Couples Therapist, having undergone in-depth training led by highly respected clinicians, including Bernd Leygraf, the only Sex and Relationship Consultant Psychotherapist in the field. 

I participate in regular clinical supervison and continual professional development (CPD) to enhance my practice and knowledge.

I really enjoy my work and feel privileged to walk alongside clients and follow therapists as they evolve and prosper.

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.
