About me
Sometimes the life you've built no longer feels like it fits who you are. You may be carrying the weight of caring for others, navigating changes in relationships, work, health, parenthood, living with loss, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself. Even when life looks manageable on the outside, it can feel very different underneath.
Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and make sense of what's happening. My approach is warm and collaborative, providing a place where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. Together, we'll look at the patterns, relationships, and life events that may be affecting your wellbeing, confidence, sense of identity, and ability to move forward.
Much of my work focuses on supporting people through life transitions, including bereavement, caring responsibilities, career or relationship changes, and questions of identity and self-worth. I also work with people experiencing anxiety, stress, depression and low self-esteem. My aim is to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and find a way forward that feels right for you.
Before becoming a counsellor, I worked across both the charity and business sectors. That experience gave me a strong understanding of the pressures of balancing work, relationships, caregiving, and everyday responsibilities, and how easy it can be to appear capable while struggling quietly beneath the surface.
Training, qualifications & experience
I work in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework to ensure you receive safe, professional and compassionate care. As part of my commitment to good practice. I also undertake regular continuing professional development. My qualifications include a Foundation Degree in Counselling, BA (Hons) in Psychology and a MSc in Human Resource Management, as well as Level 2 and 3 cpacb qualifications in counselling.
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.

Additional information
I offer a free 20-minute introductory telephone call where you can ask any questions, talk about what has brought you to counselling, and get a sense of how I work. It is also an opportunity for us to decide whether working together feels like the right fit.
Further information
My approach is primarily person-centred and humanistic, while drawing on other therapeutic approaches where they may be helpful. I work collaboratively and tailor therapy to your individual needs. Whether you are looking for short-term support around a specific issue or longer-term therapy for deeper personal exploration, we can decide together what feels right for you.
