About me
I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor working in Cambridgeshire. I provide a warm, safe and confidential space where we can explore life’s challenges together and the changes you would like to make for your future. Sessions are usually weekly or fortnightly and can be face to face, in my counselling room or remotely via Zoom or telephone, whichever feels more comfortable for you.
I am committed to providing a space where you can feel heard, valued, and supported.
Life can present various challenges, and counselling can be a transformative tool to ease emotional issues such as anxiety and depression. Whether you've experienced childhood trauma, struggle with social situations and relationships, or find it challenging to overcome daily struggles, we can work together to understand your feelings. Together, we will explore what is overwhelming and difficult, identify your strengths and develop strategies to move forward.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Level 4 diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and my training was integrative which incorporates, psychodynamic, humanistic and existential modalities. This enables me to tailor the session to you, drawing on different aspects of my training depending on your needs. Putting you at the centre, as you are the expert of you.
In addition to my private practice, I volunteer with a Cambridge charity supporting individuals who have experienced childhood sexual abuse, working to ease the effects this has on day to day life . I also support staff in organisations and school trusts and have extensive experience of supporting mental health in primary schools.
I am a qualified Group Work Practitioner and facilitate therapy groups both face to face and online. Many find that working in groups can provide a sense of unity and connectedness, to feel less alone by sharing experiences with others.
I offer a professional, confidential counselling service tailored to support the wellbeing of school staff across your setting or Trust. With over 20 years’ experience in primary education and mental health, I bring a deep understanding of the complex pressures faced by educators and the impact these can have on staff wellbeing, retention, and overall school culture.
Working in partnership with headteachers and Trust leaders, I provide a safe, independent space where staff can speak openly, reflect, and feel genuinely heard without judgement. My approach is warm, practical, and responsive, helping individuals manage stress, prevent burnout, and build sustainable resilience.
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapist (BACP) and my practice is supervised by an experienced, BACP registered senior counsellor. I have full Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance and I hold an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check (DBS).
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.
