About me
Do you feel overwhelmed, low, or stuck?
Are you weighed down by stress, anxiety, or uncertainty?
Maybe you feel like you are enduring life rather than enjoying it?
You don't have to face these challenges alone.
Having worked in law in my first career as a commercial litigation solicitor I understand the demands and pressures of modern life. In fact, it was through my own experience of work-related stress that lead me to re-training as a counsellor.
Counselling offers a space to explore your thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental environment. It's an opportunity to gain new perspectives, learn coping strategies, and develop skills for navigating life's ups and downs.
It's about investing in your mental wellbeing proactively, rather than waiting for a breaking point.
It’s not just for times of crisis but can also be useful for dealing with everyday life; the moments when stress feels overwhelming, when work-life balance seems like an impossible feat, or when self-doubt creeps in and dims your confidence.
Think of it like going to the gym. You don't just hit the weights when you are feeling out of shape instead you train consistently to build strength and resilience over time.
I recognise that one size does not fit all and so the counselling sessions are tailored to meet your unique needs and goals.
Over the years, I've had the privilege of supporting numerous clients in managing stress and regaining control of their lives. From improved sleep to reduced overwhelm, therapy has the potential to bring about profound positive changes.
Training, qualifications & experience

I have experience working with bereavement and loss and am a facilitator of a monthly bereavement support group.
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.
