About me
I offer a free 20-minute introduction session, which gives us an opportunity to talk about what’s bringing you to counselling, for you to get a feel for how I work, and to answer any questions you may have. It’s a no-pressure way for us to get to know each other and see if working together feels right for you.
With over 12 years of experience, and accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I provide compassionate, professional support to individuals facing a wide range of emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, and trauma-related issues. I also work with those looking to explore personal growth and deepen their self-awareness.
If you'd like to arrange an introduction session, please get in touch. As I’m often with clients, texting or emailing is usually the quickest way to hear back from me. I aim to get back to you as soon as I can, usually within 24 hours.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
