About me
A Heartfelt Welcome to You.
If you are reading this, you are likely facing some challenges in your life. Counselling can provide a supportive space to share what you’re going through. It can help you gain clarity about your difficulties and assist you in finding a path forward that feels right for you.
Whether you know exactly where to start or are just beginning to explore your emotions, our time together will focus on your unique needs.
As a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapy (BACP), I am committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in my work. I am also registered with The Professional Standards Authority, and I regularly engage in supervision and CPD to continuously enhance my skills as a counsellor.
I practice a person-centred approach, which means I will empower you to set the pace and direction of our therapeutic work. I can assist you in reconnecting with aspects of yourself that may have been overlooked or repressed, and I will provide you with a safe and confidential environment for growth and personal development.
In our relationship, my priority is cultivating an environment of trust where your thoughts and feelings are acknowledged, validated, and embraced. I am committed to collaborating with you on your journey toward self-compassion, self-acceptance, and leading a more enriched life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified person-centred counsellor. I have also worked as a mental health peer support worker and group facilitator for a mental health charity. In these roles, I have helped people take the first steps to making positive life changes.
My experience involves providing compassionate support to individuals dealing with a wide range of issues, such as chronic illness, general anxiety disorder, social anxiety, relationship difficulties, feelings of isolation and loneliness, low self-esteem, and depression. I can provide both short-term and long-term counselling to adults, tailored to your specific needs and circumstances.

Member organisations
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.

Further information
In addition to traditional counselling, I can incorporate creative techniques—using mediums like paint, clay, sand, and therapy cards—to help you express your emotions in new and enriching ways. This approach is especially beneficial for those who thrive through creativity or may feel constrained by conventional talk therapy. Creative healing fosters mindfulness and offers a wonderful outlet for stress relief. I welcome clients to Kingswood Practice, a cosy and inviting space in central Horsham, where we can engage in meaningful face-to-face counselling and therapy sessions.
I can also work online, if this is something you require.
