About me
Starting counselling can feel like a big step. You may not be sure what to expect, or even how to put into words what’s going on for you. I offer a safe, supportive space where we can begin to explore things at your pace.
In our sessions, we will look at both your current experiences and aspects of your past, and how these may be connected. Sometimes thoughts and feelings from earlier life can remain unresolved or outside of awareness, yet still influence how we feel, respond, and relate to others in the present.
Part of our work together is understanding how the mind tries to protect you. The unconscious is always working to keep you safe, often reacting quickly based on past experiences—even when those responses are no longer helpful. Over time, we can begin to recognise these patterns and gently make sense of where they come from.
As this understanding develops, things can start to feel clearer. Rather than feeling overwhelmed by emotions or automatic reactions, you may begin to notice more space to think, reflect, and respond in a way that feels more balanced and considered.
I work in a way that is tailored to you, drawing on my professional training to support you when things feel difficult, confusing, or stuck. Together, we can create a space where your thoughts and feelings can be explored safely, helping you to develop greater awareness, clarity, and a more positive way forward.

I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs, I will help to facilitate a fluidity of thought working towards self -awareness and resilience in your daily life challenges whereby life patterns can start to be thought about in relation to how earlier life experiences may have woven an unconscious thread that informs and influences present day action and reactions. I have gained experience through working with a variety of different presentations ,anxiety, depression, self-confidence, isolation, suicidal ideation, relationship difficulties, eating disorders, childhood trauma, sexual assault, bereavement, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and domestic abuse.

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.
