About me

Life can be tough, and sometimes we hit rough patches that knock us off course. When you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or out of balance, counselling can help you find your way back.

Whether you’re seeking individual counselling to address personal challenges or couples counselling to enhance your relationship, I am here to listen and support you. You might have specific issues you want to explore, or perhaps you sense that something in your life could be better. Together, we can navigate your unique experiences and discover the path to a more fulfilling life.

I provide a warm, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings in complete confidence, free from judgment. Beginning therapy is a courageous step, especially when it involves addressing past trauma or difficult emotions. I am committed to creating a safe and trusting environment where you can share openly at your own pace, giving you the time and support you need to process what’s on your mind.

I believe that being truly heard and understood is one of life’s most valuable experiences, and that’s what I can offer you. Whether you’re dealing with lingering effects from past experiences, navigating a recent life event, or facing challenges in your relationship, counselling can provide the support you need to move forward with confidence.

My approach is holistic and adaptable, seeing each person as a whole. Together, we’ll reflect on your thoughts, ask insightful questions, and process your experiences. This collaborative journey will help you gain clarity, increase self-awareness, and set achievable goals for positive change.

Curious to learn more? Let’s schedule a free 20-minute chat. This is a great opportunity to get to know each other, discuss what you’re looking to achieve in counselling, and explore how we can work together. You’re welcome to ask any questions you have.

It’s a privilege to walk alongside someone on their journey, and I would be honoured to accompany you on yours. If you’re interested in exploring this path with me, please reach out, and let’s take the first step together.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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).
