About me
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may be struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood, difficult past experiences, low self-esteem, anger, loneliness, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what comes next. Whatever has brought you here, I offer a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted.
As both a counsellor and someone who has personally benefited from therapy, I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for support. I believe that counselling should be a collaborative process where we work together to understand your experiences, explore what may be holding you back, and develop practical ways of moving forward.
How I Work
My approach combines compassion, curiosity and evidence-based practice. I primarily draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals.
Together, we explore what matters most to you, build practical skills for managing life's challenges, and identify actions that move you towards the life you want to live.
Who I support
I deliver individual therapy across a wide age range from young people to older adults who experience a range of issues, some of which are outline below:
Anxiety
Stress and burnout
Low mood and depression
Low self-esteem and confidence
Difficult past experiences
Life transitions and change
Family and relationship difficulties
Loneliness
Anger and emotional regulation
Behaviour change and personal growth
Experience
Alongside my private practice, I have worked supporting both adults and young people within charitable organisations, including specialist work with young people affected by domestic abuse. I have also spent several years teaching counselling and training helping professionals.
What You Can Expect
My aim is to provide a safe, supportive and collaborative environment where you can explore whatever is important to you at your own pace. I value authenticity, warmth and openness, and I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth, even during difficult times.
I offer both short-term and long-term counselling, either online or in person. I also offer a free 20-minute initial consultation, giving us the opportunity to discuss what you're looking for and whether I feel like the right counsellor for you.
If you're considering counselling and would like to explore how we might work together, I'd be happy to hear from you.

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.
