About me

I offer a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Having experienced times of isolation myself, I know how difficult it can feel when there’s no one to turn to. That’s why I’m passionate about providing support for others who may feel the same.

Life can be challenging, and sometimes we all need a safe, non-judgmental environment to explore our thoughts and feelings. I can offer you exactly that — a dedicated time and space to focus on what’s worrying you or what you’d like to work through.

I am able to offer creative techniques as well as somatic exercises to explore the connection between the mind and body.  I also work for a mental health charity, offering wellbeing sessions to clients and can support you to address issues with sleep, the impact of trauma on the body and relaxation techniques.

Whether you’re coping with bereavement, challenges at work, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I can offer you the opportunity to explore your experiences. Counselling can also be a journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
