About me
Talking about what you're going through does not have to be a last resort. As a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, I offer an open mind and a safe space for you to explore what’s important to you. My approach is rooted in connection, working relationally to build a therapeutic relationship and promote deeper self-awareness.
When you're ready to take the next step, I'm here for you. Together, we can navigate life's challenges and work towards your goals. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or looking to enhance your overall well-being, I provide personalised counselling to meet your unique needs.
I offer a free 15-minute, no-obligation consultation to see if we're the right fit. So, if you're looking for a counsellor who values connection and provides a supportive space to navigate your feelings, then do reach out. Feel free to contact me to schedule your free consultation or to ask any questions you might have.

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
I am particularly drawn to exploring intergenerational trauma, unraveling complex family dynamics, and delving into attachment issues. These areas of focus stem from both professional interest and personal experience, and are behind my dedication to helping others navigate their own emotional journey with empathy and insight.
