About us
Counselling & Therapeutic Support for Children, Adults, Couples & Families.
I am an experienced integrative counsellor working with children, adults, couples and families in private practice. I draw upon a range of therapeutic approaches, including Person-Centred, CBT, Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused Therapy, allowing our work together to be tailored to you and your individual needs.
I have experience supporting clients with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, social anxiety, OCD and intrusive thoughts, low self-esteem, stress and burnout, emotional regulation, anger, people-pleasing, difficulties with boundaries, relationship difficulties, family issues, ADHD and ASD, trauma, adverse childhood experiences, narcissistic abuse, grief and loss, and periods of change or uncertainty.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and you may find yourself constantly worrying, overthinking, struggling with confidence, feeling emotionally exhausted, or finding it difficult to understand or manage your emotions. You may be experiencing difficulties within a relationship, struggling with boundaries, or simply feel that something in your life needs to change.
Sometimes there may not even be one particular reason for coming to counselling. You may simply feel that you’re not quite yourself, feel disconnected, stuck or unsure of where to go next. Counselling can offer you the time and space to pause, reflect and make sense of what you’re experiencing.
I understand that finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, and that opening up about personal thoughts and experiences isn’t always easy. My aim is to provide compassionate, professional and individualised support in a way that feels comfortable for you.
When we work together, you can expect a safe, warm, respectful and non-judgemental spacewhere you feel heard, valued and understood. There is no judgement and no expectation that you have everything figured out. We work together at your pace, exploring what matters to you and what you would like to change.
Couples & Family Counselling
Relationships can be challenging, particularly when communication has broken down, emotions feel difficult to manage or you find yourselves caught in the same patterns of conflict.
I provide a safe and impartial space for couples and families to explore difficulties, improve communication, understand each other’s perspectives and work towards healthier relationships.
Counselling for Children & Young People.
I also offer counselling to children and young people experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, social anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional regulation, school anxiety, school avoidance/refusal, friendship difficulties, ADHD and ASD, family changes and trauma.
My dedicated playroom is filled with toys, creative activities and arts and crafts, providing a welcoming environment where children can feel comfortable and express themselves in a way that feels natural to them.
For children, therapy doesn’t always mean sitting down and talking about feelings. Play, creativity and therapeutic activities can provide a safe way to communicate, explore emotions and develop coping strategies.
My aim is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where every child feels safe, heard and understood.
💛 You don’t have to navigate it alone.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you don’t have to have all the answers before reaching out.

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.
