About me
When you’re already struggling, even looking for a therapist can feel like one more thing you just don’t have the energy for. And talking to someone new about the hardest parts of your life is even more to ask from yourself. We’ll go gently, at your pace, so it feels safe enough to start.
Reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness — it’s a sign that you’re ready for things to feel different.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, or the challenges and strengths that come with neurodiversity such as ADHD or autism. Even talking about what is going on can feel like another burden.
I work with both individuals and couples, offering a safe, non-judgemental space to explore whatever is on your mind. For some people, that means ongoing therapy. For others, it’s a single, focused session to talk something through without committing to a longer process.
I am an accredited member of the BACP and tailor my approach to you — your needs, your pace, and your personality. Our first step is an initial phone call to explore what’s bringing you to counselling, what you hope to gain, and how we might work together.
I follow BACP’s ethical guidelines to ensure our sessions are professional, confidential, and grounded in your wellbeing. I also offer term-time counselling for parents who struggle to find childcare, and very young children are welcome to attend with you if needed.
If you’re unsure whether counselling is right for you, I’m happy to answer any questions and help you decide without pressure.

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.

Further information
Young children and babies are welcome if childcare is a barrier to accessing counselling, though this may influence the work we do together.
I offer term-time only sessions for parents, as well as one-off sessions — with a few spaces kept each week for clients needing to be seen quickly.
Being diagnosed as neuro-diverse or suspected as neuro-diverse comes with a unique set of feelings and challenges. I’m experienced in adapting sessions for clients with ADHD and autism, both diagnosed and going through the diagnostic process, including flexible pacing, breaks, or alternative communication styles.
Online sessions are available for clients across the UK.
Please note: Wheelchair access is not available at this time.
