About me
I am a BACP registered psychotherapeutic counsellor offering individual therapy to adults. I support people experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress and low self-esteem. My practice is neurodiversity informed, and I have experience working with autistic clients and clients with ADHD.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure why things have become difficult. Therapy offers a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, gain a deeper understanding of yourself and explore new ways of moving forward.
You might find working with me helpful if you are:
- Experiencing anxiety, low mood or persistent stress
- Feeling overwhelmed or burnt out
- Under pressure at work or in your personal life
- Struggling with confidence or self-worth
- Adjusting to loss, change or uncertainty
- Wanting to understand yourself, your relationships or recurring patterns more deeply
Alongside my clinical practice, I continue to work as a lawyer in a senior role. This dual perspective gives me a grounded understanding of high-pressure professional environments, workplace stress, burnout and career transitions. While I work with adults from all backgrounds, I appreciate the unique demands that many professionals face.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful change. My aim is to create a space where you feel heard, accepted and able to explore whatever feels important to you. Sessions are guided by what you want to bring, and we work together at a pace that feels right for you. I listen carefully, reflect what I notice and ask thoughtful questions to support greater understanding and lasting change.
My approach
My work is grounded in person-centred therapy and informed by transactional analysis. Together, we can explore patterns in your thoughts, feelings and relationships, helping you develop greater self-awareness and make changes that feel right for you.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and am listed on the Professional Standards Authority Accredited Register. I have experience working in private practice and NHS primary care settings.
If you would like to explore whether working together feels right for you, you are welcome to get in touch to arrange a free 15-minute discovery call.

Additional Background
Alongside my work as a psychotherapeutic counsellor, I continue to work as a lawyer in a senior role, having worked in both the public and private sectors, including a Magic Circle law firm. This experience gives me an understanding of the pressures associated with demanding professional environments, career transitions and workplace stress.
I also hold postgraduate law qualifications and a BA (Hons) in Modern Foreign Languages (French, Spanish and Catalan). Living abroad has given me an appreciation of different cultures and perspectives, which informs my work with clients from a range of backgrounds.
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.
