About me
I am a qualified Therapeutic Counsellor and Supervisor, and a registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). I currently offer counselling sessions via face to face, telephone and Zoom, providing flexible and accessible support wherever you are.
I work with adults, couples, children, and young people facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, relationship difficulties, sexual abuse, LGBTQ+ issues, and many other personal concerns. Whether you come to counselling with a clear goal in mind or are unsure where to start, we can work together to explore what is important to you and identify the changes you would like to make.
My approach is centred around you as an individual. I believe that every person is unique, and therefore counselling should be tailored to your specific needs, experiences, and circumstances. I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can speak openly, explore your thoughts and feelings, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work. My aim is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and accepted, allowing you to explore difficult emotions and experiences at your own pace. Rather than offering advice or judgement, I will support you in developing greater self-awareness, resilience, and confidence in your own ability to move forward.
If you often feel unheard, struggle to share your thoughts with those around you, or simply want a space that is dedicated entirely to you, counselling can offer the support and understanding you deserve. Whatever brings you to counselling, I will be alongside you throughout your journey, helping you work towards a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

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.
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).
