About me
Welcome
Something isn't working the way it used to — and you don't need to wait until it's unbearable to do something about it.
I'm an experienced integrative counsellor working with adults and young people, face to face near Wells. I don't work to a single method: integrative counselling means shaping the work around you — what fits, what helps, what you actually need — rather than fitting you into one fixed approach.
Clients come to me for many reasons: anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and bereavement, low self-esteem, chronic health conditions, adoption-related issues, or the particular challenges that come with being neurodivergent. Many have spent years putting everyone else first and have simply run out of road.
We go at whatever pace feels right for you — there's no script, no right way to begin, just where you're actually at.
Face-to-face sessions available Tuesdays and Thursdays, £50 per hour.

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.
