About me
Perhaps life feels overwhelming right now.
You may be feeling anxious, stuck, emotionally exhausted or finding it difficult to cope with the challenges life has brought your way. Maybe you’re struggling with low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, family pressures, or the impact of addiction—whether that’s your own or someone else’s. Whatever has led you to seek counselling, you don’t have to face it alone.
I offer a warm, accepting and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, without fear of criticism or feeling that you have to have everything figured out. My role isn’t to tell you what to do or offer quick fixes. Instead, I’ll work alongside you at your pace, helping you make sense of your experiences and discover your own strengths and direction.
As a person-centred counsellor, I believe that every person has the capacity for growth and change when they feel truly heard, understood and accepted. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work, and I aim to create an environment where you feel safe enough to explore whatever is important to you.
I have experience supporting adults with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, low mood, stress, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, bereavement, life transitions, neurodiversity, and the impact of addiction on individuals and families. Every client’s experience is unique, and I tailor our work to your individual needs rather than following a set agenda.
Starting counselling can feel daunting, and it’s important that you find the right therapist. That’s why I offer a free 15-minute introductory phone call, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and see whether working together feels like the right fit.
Alongside my general counselling practice, I have a particular interest in supporting people experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, the impact of addiction on families, and the emotional demands of caring for others.
My aim is to provide a warm and compassionate space where you can explore whatever is on your mind at your own pace. You won’t be told what to do or judged for how you feel.

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.
