About me
Counselling that starts with you
You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out for counselling. You just need somewhere safe to start.
I’m a BACP Accredited Counsellor with over 9 years’ experience in counselling and therapeutic support, working with young people and adults. I offer a warm, compassionate and confidential space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted without judgement.
You may be struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood, relationships, self-esteem or the impact of difficult experiences. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected, or you're trying to make sense of something that has happened in your life. Whatever brings you to counselling, you don't have to face it alone.
How I can support you
I work with a range of difficulties, including:
Trauma and difficult life experiences
Anxiety and feeling overwhelmed
Depression, stress , low mood
Relationship difficulties
ADHD and autism
Low self-esteem and confidence
Discrimination and its impact on wellbeing
Feeling stuck, lost or struggling to cope
My approach is person-centred, meaning counselling is shaped around you, your experiences and what you need. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to support you rather than tell you what you should do.
I am also EMDR trained, allowing me to incorporate trauma-focused approaches where appropriate. We can explore difficult experiences at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.
A space to be yourself
Counselling can be a place where you don't have to pretend that everything is okay. You can bring the things you may find difficult to say elsewhere and be met with empathy, respect and understanding.
I recognise that no two people are the same, so I don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. I take time to understand you, your experiences and what you hope to gain from counselling.
When working with clients, I provide a safe, supportive and age-appropriate space where they can feel listened to, respected and understood.
You don't need to know exactly what you want to talk about before starting counselling. Sometimes you simply know that something needs to change. We can start there.
Online counselling: £55
In-person counselling: £60
If something in my profile resonates with you, please get in touch. We can have a conversation about what you're looking for and whether counselling with me feels like the right fit for you.
Email would be the best contact. I aim to respond within 24–48 hours.

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.
