About me
People seek therapy for a wide range of things. You might be feeling anxious or depressed, have hit some bumps in the road of life, struggling with relationships, looking to explore yourself, your identify or even understand and change behaviours. I can offer a supportive, non-judgemental space to help you explore whatever it is you are going through. I can support you with common life problems, such as anxiety, depression, stress and life changes. Additionally, I work with relationships, core beliefs and self-worth and I specialise in working with the LGBTQIA+ community an area I am incredibly passionate about.
If you would like to find out more about me, how I work, and to get a feel for if I am the right therapist for you, please email or call me.
My experience
I Integrate several therapeutic theories and techniques to offer a bespoke service tailoring my approach to you and your needs. I have extensive Therapeutic experience, a MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice, a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and teach Level 2 Counselling skills to trainees.
I embrace difference and diversity and have worked with clients from a wide range of backgrounds. No matter who you are, what you have experienced or what’s happening for you I am here to listen and provide you with therapeutic support. I have worked with a diverse range of clients over the past five years, gaining experience from working with three charities, St Christopher’s Hospice, METRO Charity and Place 2 Be, along with my private practice experience.
Getting started
When you get in touch, we will have a conversation to find out what support you may be looking for and for you to get a feel for if I am the right therapist for you. We can then arrange an initial session / assessment. There will be no obligation to continue with sessions after the initial assessment, it is important for you to decide if you feel comfortable and wish to work with me.
Sessions last 50 minutes and are on a weekly basis at the same time on the same day. I am currently unable to offer fortnightly sessions due to availability.
For more information please don't hesitate to call me or send me an email.

Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority.
