About me
Sometimes life puts hurdles in our way just when we think things are going smoothly. It may be you feel unsettled, troubled, sad, anxious, low mood but cannot understand why. There are many things that affect us from all stages of our life. Without realising, there may be things from your early years that are only now affecting your quality of life.
I am an experienced counsellor working with issues such as anxiety, loss and grief, anger, sexuality, abuse, body image, identity, relationship and family problems. I have experience of working with those who are in healing and recovery from substance abuse- Sobriety. Working with them to recoginise and explore issues leading to healing the causes of the abuse. This may be breakdown of relationships with friends and family
As a person-centered counsellor, I believe the counselling relationship is quite different from any other relationship. Our relationship will be one that gives you a safe, secure space to explore what is going on for you. Working non directly as I believe that no one knows you best like you do. Working together to help you become more self-aware, your authentic true self, growing in self-worth and esteem, finding you the peace, solace, and the answers you are searching for.
My belief in our relationship is equal and regardless of any differences, I aim to work collaboratively together with you at your pace
Many of us of all ages find ourselves at a crossroads. Every next level of our life will demand a different you. This can feel overwhelming, stressful, unhappy times. It is at times like these when events from our past, be it childhood memories, traumatic events, the lost of a loved; could be affecting our ability to cope with a current situation. Exploring and talking through your personal history, relationships, and beliefs, will help us look at how these may be affecting you now.
In the past, I have had much experience of working with a bereavement agency. This skillset and understanding has helped my work with supporting others who face this sadness. I have supported those in need gain an acceptance and understanding of their loss. All ages are affected by loss and talking through these feelings I can help you to move to a different level of grief without closing the door on your loved one.
I am an approved counsellor for the PFOA- Police Firearms Officers Association working with serving police officers helping & supporting them to work & deal with the difficulties they face in life.
I work with ages from 18 upwards. For young people, it may be you are struggling with self confidence, self esteem, social pressures or just what being a young person means for you in today’s confusing world. Trying to find your place in society when things ‘just don’t feel right’ can affect you greatly. Giving you the time and space away from friends and family, a listening ear that is just for you can be the solution you are searching for and helping you find your own answers. Working with positive unconditional regard at all times and accepting of all.
Times have changed for all now since Covid and working online has become quite the normal for a lot of people. I am happy to work online if you wish so it does not matter where you are, we can connect.
Working and supporting those who find themselves trying to deal with day to day stresses of life when they cannot understand what is causing the sleepless nights, the anxieties they are feeling. Together we will explore what your world is like for you and together we will find you the answers you are searching for.

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.
