About me
Bearing your troubles to a stranger can be a daunting prospect for many. My work is to support and aid you with the changes you would like to make in a confidential, safe and supportive space.
I am an integrative therapist who specialises in humanistic, talking therapy. I have experience working working with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, PTSD, feelings of cultural and disability exclusion and self-esteem. I offer both long-term and short-term work - the length is decided by you. We can discuss this in a free thirty-minute consultation and adapt as the work progresses.
I work face to face with clients who are able to travel within the area of my practice, however, online counselling can take place nationwide. I work with clients throughout the country.
Flexible rates are offered to low income households, students and key workers.
I offer face to face, walk and talk therapy, online and telephone therapies and I can do home visits.
In addition to 1-1 therapies I also offer a range of nationwide outdoor wellness support group events which are listed on my profile and on my website
I have years of experience volunteering with various mental health charities and organisations which I continue to do. I have a passion for supporting others and I extend this support to you.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

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).
