About me
Working with individuals I have many years experience supporting clients with anxiety, low self esteem, depression, trauma, ADHD and relationship issues.
My clients tell me they feel comfortable speaking openly to me. I help them to feel calmer and more in control. I listen and understand each individual and can support them in the way that feels comfortable for them.
I'm here to help you shift away from negative thought patterns and build a more positive outlook. Through thoughtful conversation, encouragement, and practical guidance, we’ll work together to find coping strategies that feel right for you
Working with couples I offer a supportive environment, where both partners are equally valued. My role is to support calm, respectful conversation, helping each person feel heard and understood.
I help to resolve ... communication difficulties, conflict and recurring arguments, breaches of trust (including infidelity), intimacy and sexual concerns and emotional disconnection
Working with ADHD Some of of us face challenges with focus, rejection sensitivity and procrastination that can affect confidence and daily life. Often, we become highly self-critical and blame ourselves. I have experience in this field and I can help you function more effectively and feel less overwhelmed.
Working with bereavement,
When someone close to us dies it is common to experience a wide range of emotions. You might notice sudden mood changes, feeling okay one moment and overwhelmed the next. All of these reactions are a normal part of grief. We can talk about these feelings and help you to understand your response to loss.
I also offer single session therapy for both individuals and couples. Ideal if you don't want ongoing therapy, but would like some support with a specific issue.

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.

Further information
When we first meet, my priority is you. I focus on helping to reduce anxiety and creating a calm, supportive space where you can feel safe and understood. My aim is to support you in developing the confidence and skills to cope with your current situation.
If you are experiencing bereavement, we can gently explore the painful emotions that come with it. In your own time, and when it feels right, we can also begin to look towards a more hopeful future.
When working with couples, I ensure that my care and commitment extends equally to both partners. My goal is to create a safe, balanced space where everyone feels heard, respected, and supported.
If you are seeking supervision, I have experience supporting counsellors at different stages of their professional journey - from those just starting out to those with many years of practice. My primary aim is to support you in what can be an emotionally demanding role. I have trained extensively with Robin Shohet and work using the Seven-Eyed Model of supervision.
