Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by life, seeking support for anxiety or burnout, or looking to rebuild your confidence, together we can find new paths forward.
Take the first step—let’s work towards a healthier, more balanced you.
I am an accredited member of of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP reg.) drawing from different therapeutic models when working with adults and young people in both short and long term therapy.
Let me introduce myself and feel free to get in touch in order to discuss further. I have been working within therapeutic counselling settings several years and have considerable training and experience in general and specialised practice including working with clients facing: relationship issues, challenging family dynamics, depression, anxiety, work related stress, infertility issues, separation, bereavement/loss, shame, low self-esteem, trauma, anger and many other issues that can present to us during our lives.
How can counselling/psychotherapy help?
Counselling/ psychotherapy enables you and encourages you :
* To think about yourself more deeply
* Understanding your feelings and emotions.
* Exploring difficulties in relationships with others around you
* Change old, dysfunctional patterns
* Managing problems such as anger and sadness and coping better with anxiety and stressful situations.
* Open up possibilities within a life that may feel stuck.
Although therapists will not give you advice they will help you to find your own insights, identify your own needs and think about how you would like to move forward.
Normally it takes a number of sessions before therapy makes a difference and regular weekly commitment with your therapist is highly recommended.
What to Expect During Your First Session
The first session is a 60-minute assessment to understand your current situation, explore your past, and discuss your hopes for the future. It's your space to share what’s troubling you, what brought you to therapy, and what you want to achieve. I’ll listen carefully and suggest ways we can work together.
You’re welcome to ask questions about the process or how I work. If we decide to continue, sessions are usually 50 minutes weekly. For couples, sessions are 70 minutes and often every two weeks.
I look forward to supporting you on your journey to feeling better and finding new pathways forward.
How I Work
I believe in genuine, open dialogue as a foundation for change. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe, supportive space, helping you understand and overcome challenges. Whether short-term (10-12 weeks), medium-term (up to 24 weeks), or longer, my focus is on your growth and self-acceptance.
I am committed to professional confidentiality and adhere to the BACP’s high standards. To suit your busy life, sessions are available in person, by Skype, Zoom, or FaceTime.
Training, qualifications & experience
My background
I initially studied Archaeology and Ancient Greek History, which helped me appreciate the deep stories that shape human experiences and relationships. Working as an archaeologist taught me the importance of empathy in uncovering and honoring these stories, both personal and collective.
Later, my involvement in the art world, working closely with artists, gave me insight into the emotional and psychological challenges of pursuing passion and achievement. I saw how the pursuit of success can sometimes lead to questions about meaning and purpose—moments many people experience as a quiet or gentle existential questioning. I believe these can be valuable opportunities for reflection and growth.
This diverse background informs my approach to therapy: I cherish the power of stories and aim to support my clients with compassion, understanding, and resilience as they explore their own journeys.

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.
