About me
You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating - in relationships, at work, or in how you feel about yourself. Sometimes there’s just a sense that something isn’t quite right, even if it’s hard to put into words.
I offer a calm, non-judgemental space where we can start to make sense of what’s going on for you.
We work with whatever feels most important to you. I’ll stay close to what’s happening in the moment - noticing what stands out, or where something doesn’t quite sit right, and give that a bit of time and attention.
At times, I might slow things down or come back to something you've just said, so we can understand it more fully.
People often start to notice something feeling a bit different after a few sessions, and life can begin to feel more manageable.
Sessions are in person, last 50 minutes, and usually weekly. Some people come for a short time, others for longer - we can find a rhythm that works for you.
Some people come with something specific they want to focus on, others want to take more time and look at things in more depth. We can work in a way that fits what you need.
If you’d like to arrange an initial session, you're welcome to get in touch. I also offer a free 15-20 minute introductory call if you’d prefer to talk things through first.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’ve worked as a counsellor in a range of settings, including GP surgeries, NHS IAPT services, further education, and charitable organisations. Alongside my private practice, I also provide workplace counselling through Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs).
I’m an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and work within their ethical framework. I have regular clinical supervision and continue to develop my practice.
I have experience supporting people with a range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship challenges, and work-related stress. Often, people come wanting to make sense of something that doesn’t quite add up yet - a feeling, a pattern, or a situation they keep finding themselves in.
My approach is grounded in person-centred and existential therapy, with an integrative way of working. In practice, this means we take time to stay with your experience as it unfolds, rather than rushing past it.
Over time, this can help things become clearer, so you can begin to recognise patterns, feel less caught up in them, and respond in ways that feel more your own.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
