About me
I'm a registered counsellor with over 10 years of experience in various settings, including the NHS and charities like Mind. I now work privately online, providing support for individuals dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, shame, relationship difficulties, attachment, low self-esteem, and trauma.
Whether seeking support to explore a specific life experience or a space to understand yourself and any difficulties affecting you. I work within a range of therapeutic approaches, ensuring therapy is tailored to your needs.
I understand the courage it can take to reach out and seek support. I aim to provide a warm and safe space to share your concerns. You will be listened to carefully and encouraged to listen to yourself. Acknowledgement is incredibly powerful. While we might not always receive this from others, I believe it's something we can access internally with the right support. Together, we can discover your purpose and identify inner skills to build upon emotional well-being.
I have a special interest in helping people with chronic pain, invisible illnesses and neurodiversity to learn how to understand and engage with their needs, developing tools which help manage symptoms. My approach is practical and creative, with a range of additional options such as art cards, animal energy, archetypal explorations and more.
I offer a variety of options to ensure secure video sessions. You won't be required to sign up for or download anything new. With Doxy, you can simply click the link and be taken to your session.

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.
