About me
Why come to therapy?
We are continuing to live in intense and challenging times. The multi-levelled impact of Covid on families and individuals of all ages, plus rising living costs and global unrest are all adding to the stress of daily life. You may be someone struggling to keep things going at home, juggling responsibilities, relationships. You may be feeling a sense of something lost, that life is not panning out as you thought it would. Or perhaps you are feeling distressed, anxious, overwhelmed or just flat and without direction.
Understanding why we feel the way we do and how we can support ourselves is something that talking therapy can help with. Whether you want counselling support with immediate worries and fears or whether you want a deeper more psychotherapeutic and body focused exploration of yourself, I can offer a therapeutic space for you to explore yourself and your internal experiencing.
I am an accredited, fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist working with both adults and young people. I have worked in many different areas both in and out of the NHS mental health system and currently work from my home in private practice.
I have extensive experience of working with young people and the multitude of challenges faced by this age group, including gender dysphoria and issues around sexuality. Other areas of work with adults include anxiety and depression, PTSD, CPTSD and menopause and emotion focused work with anger and shame.
I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist and abide by both the UKCP and BACP ethical guidelines. Sessions are confidential and can be in person at my home. I also offer walking talking therapy. This is a more immersive experience, offering an alternative way of looking at how we can support and understand ourselves as an integral part of the natural world, together with the benefits of being out in the countryside.

Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Post Graduate Clinical Diploma and an MSc in Contemporary Person-Centred Psychotherapy and Application from the Metanoia Institute in London.
I have been working in counselling and psychotherapy for over 13 years.
During this time I spent 6 years working with young people in the NHS mental health system which gave me a broad range of experience with mental health issues in the 12 - 24 age group.
I also spent 3 years in bereavement and grief work with adults at Woking Hospice and at Petersfield Counselling Services working with adults in the areas of domestic and sexual abuse.
I currently work in private practice from my home in Witley and work mainly with students of counselling and psychotherapy and with women.
Whilst I do still take on young clients, I also offer talks to parents of teenagers with mental health issues via The Green Hub Charity in Milford, Surrey.
I am also a qualified equine-assisted therapist working with both individuals and groups. My training took place at the Heart Holistic Horse and Pony Centre in Ockham, Surrey.
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.
