About me
I specialise in working with neurodivergent clients, including those who are autistic or have ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, or dyscalculia. I am neuro-affirming and LGBTQ+ affirming, and I welcome people from all backgrounds and identities. I have over five years’ experience supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I work with children and young people aged 8-18 as well as adults.
If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, overwhelm, or difficulties understanding yourself and your experiences, you do not have to face this alone. I aim to provide a safe, accepting, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.
I believe that therapy works best when we work collaboratively. I place great importance on empathy, authenticity, compassion, and building a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, understood, and respected. I will encourage you to take an active role in therapy, while recognising that everyone’s needs and circumstances are different.
My aim is to support you in developing a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences, while fostering self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-compassion. Together, we can explore what may be contributing to your difficulties and consider ways of making meaningful changes that feel right for you.
You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. I am here to support you, without judgment, as you work towards greater understanding, acceptance, and well-being.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor, drawing on person-centred, Gestalt and attachment approaches to inform my practice. I have an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling from Iron Mill College, as well as a Post-Qualifying Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People.
I also hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and Sociology and am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
My counselling experience includes volunteering with a cancer charity, where I supported clients experiencing a range of difficulties, including grief, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.
I have also volunteered as a counsellor within a further education college, working with young people experiencing a range of challenges. This included supporting clients through life transitions, developing independence, neurodivergence, self-harm and other personal and emotional difficulties.
These experiences have helped me develop a compassionate, flexible and person-centred approach, adapting my way of working to the individual needs and experiences of each client.
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.
