About me
Welcome,
As an experienced counsellor working with both adults and young people, I am here to help my clients navigate through various mental health challenges. These may include anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, coping with loss, adoption issues, as well as managing chronic conditions.
My approach is deeply rooted in putting you, the client, at the centre of our work together. I believe in creating a safe and empathetic environment where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
Whether you're facing personal struggles, relationship issues, seeking personal growth and empowerment, or managing the complexities of chronic health conditions and pain, I'm here to offer compassionate support tailored to your individual needs and aspirations
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
Please contact me for more information.

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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
