About me
You may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or unsure of the way forward. As a person-centred counsellor, I believe you are the expert on your own experience. With the right support and a space where you can truly be yourself, you can gain clarity, reconnect with your strengths and begin to make meaningful change.
I can support you with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, grief and low self-esteem, and other issues you may be experiencing.
Our sessions will offer a confidential, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can speak openly and at your own pace. I will listen with warmth and empathy, helping you to tune out external pressures, understand what may be behind your feelings and rediscover what matters to you. My aim is for you to feel genuinely seen, heard and accepted.
Whether you are navigating a difficult period, questioning who you are, or longing for a more peaceful and fulfilling life, you do not have to work through it alone. Together, we can gently explore what is holding you back and find a way forward that feels right for you. You will remain in control of what we discuss, and we will only explore what feels safe and manageable.
My personal experience, professional training, counselling practice and voluntary work have given me a deep understanding of many of life’s challenges. Below, you can learn more about the areas in which I have experience and how I may be able to support you.
If you feel I may be the right counsellor for you, you are warmly invited to get in touch. We can take the first step together and explore whether working with me feels right for you.
First Steps
I understand it is important for you to find the right therapist for you. To help with this, I offer a free 15-minute initial telephone consultation. We can talk briefly about what has brought you to counselling, I can answer any questions you might have, and we can then decide whether I am the right counsellor for you.

I am a counselling volunteer for Road Victims Trust, a charity supporting people who have been affected by the grief and trauma of a road death or a serious injury or life changing injury collisions.
I also volunteer as a counsellor at a secondary school in Stevenage providing support to young people.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
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.
