About me
I offer counselling in Leeds (Calverley) and online, providing a calm and supportive space where you can talk openly and feel understood.
You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted, or finding that things are getting on top of you. You may be used to coping on your own, but it’s starting to feel difficult to manage.
I am an integrative counsellor, trained in person-centred therapy, and I also use trauma-informed approaches and psychoeducation where helpful. My approach is warm, non-judgemental, and collaborative, and we will work at a pace that feels right for you.
I am a neurodivergent therapist (autistic and ADHD) and offer neuro-affirming counselling. I understand that we all experience the world differently, and I will adapt sessions to suit your needs, communication style, and preferences.
I can support you with issues such as anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, burnout, trauma, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, and neurodiversity (including ADHD and autism).
Sessions are available online via Google Meet or face-to-face in Calverley, Leeds.
If you’d like to see if we might be a good fit, I offer a free 15-minute phone call.
Training, qualifications & experience
Qualifications
I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a BA (Hons) in Philosophy.
Training
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I regularly take part in training, reading and reflective learning. BACP normally expects registered members to complete at least 30 hours of CPD each year and, importantly, to think about how that learning improves their work with clients.
Some of my recent CPD
- Working with Trauma: Developing a Trauma Informed Perspective – 2025
Training exploring trauma, grounding, emotional regulation and how therapists can help clients feel safer and better understand their responses. - Neuroaffirming Therapy Workshop – 2026
Training exploring autism and ADHD, including masking, burnout, sensory needs, emotional regulation and ways of adapting therapy for neurodivergent clients. - Working with Loss and Bereavement for Therapists and Counsellors – Cruse Bereavement Support, 2026
Training exploring grief and loss, different experiences of bereavement and ways of supporting people through grief without assuming there is a “right” way to grieve.
Experience
I have completed over 450 hours of counselling work, supporting adults with a wide range of experiences and difficulties.
I previously volunteered for two years at a women’s centre in Wakefield, where I supported clients experiencing trauma, bereavement, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, anxiety, depression and difficult childhood experiences.
I have experience working with adults from a range of backgrounds and offer a warm, inclusive and non-judgemental space.
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.
