About me
Life can be challenging, and sometimes we all need a safe, supportive space to explore our thoughts and feelings. As a BACP member and NCPS-accredited counsellor with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, I provide compassionate and non-judgmental therapy tailored to your needs.
My approach is person-centred, meaning you are at the heart of the process. However, I am also experienced in working with a range of therapeutic modalities, allowing me to adapt to what works best for you. I have worked in private practice, prisons, community settings, and with youth workers, giving me deep insight into a variety of issues, including trauma, addiction, and dual diagnosis.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or past experiences, I offer a warm and reflective space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported in making positive changes.
If you’re ready to take the first step, I’d love to hear from you.

Member of BACP
Accredited member of NCPS
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.
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.
