About me

Sometimes it can be difficult to make sense of your thoughts and emotions, so my aim is to offer warmth, empathy and acceptance for us to explore your life challenges together.   

I provide compassionate and confidential online, face to face, and telephone support in a non-judgmental space.  For you to feel heard, understood, and more confident in your life choices moving forwards.

I've worked as an NHS professional for over 15 years and I care deeply about the well-being of others.  Whilst my foundation is in person-centred counselling, I believe that every person is unique and will work with you to tailor our sessions to suit you as an individual, at a pace you feel comfortable with. 

I very much look forward to connecting with you.  Please feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
