About me
Therapy with me is collaborative, honest and built on a genuine relationship where trust develops, you can feel truly understood, and difficult things can be explored safely.
I create a safe, empathic space, either in my therapy room, online or in your home, where we can explore who you are and what you are experiencing. Together, we might look at how past experiences, even from childhood, shape the feelings you have today. Or we may focus on your current environment and relationships, and what changes could help you feel stronger, calmer, and more able to cope. We might explore the roots of your challenges, understand how your choices affect you and those around you, and reflect on your boundaries and stresses.
What it feels like to work with me;
My style is direct and straightforward, while always being non-judgemental and compassionate. I value honesty and will gently challenge you when needed, supporting you to see things from new perspectives. I believe in maintaining clear boundaries and structure, while also allowing space for flexibility, authenticity, and even humour. Therapy can be both serious and lighthearted, and I find that being able to laugh together can be just as healing as sitting with difficult emotions.
I work best with people who are motivated to explore themselves, open to change, and willing to step into the sometimes uncomfortable but rewarding work of growth.

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.
