About me
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving us feeling stuck, anxious, or low. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space where you can freely express yourself and feel truly heard. Together, we will explore your experiences, helping you gain clarity and work towards the changes that feel right for you. I believe that deep down, you have the answers, my role is to support and empower you in finding them.
I am a qualified and experienced counsellor, supporting adults and young people through a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, family issues, stress, self-harm, shame, trauma, low self-esteem, and periods of change.
I understand that seeking counselling can feel like a big step. I am here to guide and support you in this process, whether you're looking for new perspectives, greater confidence, or a deeper sense of fulfilment in life.

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.
