About me
Free 20-minute introductory session. Finding the right counsellor matters, so I offer a relaxed opportunity for us to meet, discuss what brings you to counselling, and see whether working together feels right for you.
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious or struggling with your mental health and wellbeing? I provide a warm, supportive space to help you make sense of your experiences, understand yourself more clearly, and find a way forward.
With over 14 years' counselling experience, I support people with a range of challenges including anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, bereavement, relationship difficulties, trauma and burnout. I am accredited by both BACP and NCPS and tailor my approach to your individual needs.
To arrange your free 20-minute introductory session, please contact me by text or email, as these are usually the quickest ways to receive a reply.

Before moving into private practice, I worked within an NHS provider, a national bereavement service, and a residential rehabilitation centre, providing one-to-one counselling, group facilitation, psychological assessments, and psycho-educational sessions. These experiences strengthened my skills in supporting individuals, responding to diverse needs, and creating safe, supportive environments for reflection and positive change.

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.
