About me
Do you find it difficult to express how you are feeling, or feel unable to share what is really going on in your life? You may be experiencing anxiety, relationship difficulties, or concerns about addictive behaviour, or simply feel unheard or overwhelmed. Counselling can offer a confidential space to explore these experiences.
I am a professionally trained and registered counsellor with training in Psychodynamic Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Addictions Counselling. I work with adults and couples and have experience supporting people from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
How Can Counselling Help?
Counselling can help if you are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, depression or difficulties in relationships. Through therapy, we can work together to understand your feelings, thoughts, and physical responses, and identify ways to make sense of what you are experiencing.
I offer weekly sessions in which you will be treated with respect, care and empathy. Therapy may be time-limited or longer term, depending on your needs and goals. I always work collaboratively, choosing an approach that best supports what you want to achieve.
What to Expect in Your First Session
Your first session provides an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to counselling and what you would like to gain from it. We will also spend some time getting to know one another, so you can decide whether you feel comfortable and confident working with me.
Training, qualifications & experience
Training and Experience
I am trained in Psychodynamic Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Addictions Counselling, and I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Addictions Counselling. I am also trained in EMDR, which I use where appropriate to support clients experiencing the impact of trauma.
I have a degree in Psychology, and I am registered with both the British Psychological Society and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I have experience working with a wide range of clients, including students, survivors of domestic violence, individuals experiencing depression, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and those affected by sexual violence. I also have experience in conflict resolution and mediation, as well as in working with older people facing end-of-life issues.
As a registered member of both BACP and the British Psychological Society, I work in accordance with the ethical frameworks and professional standards of these regulatory bodies.
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.

Further information
I offer thoughtful, integrative therapy for people who find it difficult to ask for help or to express their thoughts and feelings. Many clients come to therapy having spent a long time managing on their own, often feeling uncomfortable with vulnerability or unsure how to articulate their inner experience. I work at a pace that feels safe and respectful, allowing space for trust and understanding to develop.
My work is collaborative and reflective, supporting clients in exploring emotional patterns, ways of relating, and established coping strategies. Through this process, therapy can help clients develop greater self-understanding, feel more able to express themselves, and make meaningful, lasting changes.
