About me
About me and how I work:
I am a qualified and experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist (BACP accredited) offering short and long term weekly therapy both online and in person. I currently work in private practice and in an educational setting, where I provide support to teaching and operational staff.
I am experienced in working with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, relational issues and trauma. I am a warm, approachable and thoughtful practitioner. Whether online or in person I aim to create a space where difficult things can be spoken about and understood with compassion.
Additionally I have specific experience in women's health issues having worked in pregnancy loss and fertility charities. I have experience working with terminations, miscarriage and pregnancy loss, fertility and conception issues, IVF and perinatal mental health. Each of these experiences can have a profound impact on mental wellbeing but are often experienced in silence. I aim to offer a gentle space for the unspoken to be expressed and made sense of.
I believe that therapy can have significant benefits for the happiness and wellbeing those undertaking it. I aim to support you in understanding yourself, your situation, relationships, thoughts and feelings, your internal world. In deepening this understanding comes clarity, a stronger positive sense of self and the ability to navigate a new way forward. I'm an integrative practitioner which means I adapt my approach to suit your needs but my focus is primarily on talking therapy approaches.

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).
