About me
Starting therapy can feel unfamiliar, but at its heart it is a safe and supportive space where you can feel fully heard, understood, and accepted. Therapy offers an opportunity to explore your thoughts, feelings, relationships, and experiences with someone who listens carefully, compassionately, and without judgement.
As your therapist, my role is to support you with warmth, patience, and understanding while helping you make sense of difficulties, develop healthier ways of coping, and move towards meaningful and lasting change. At times, this may involve learning practical tools, exploring emotions, improving communication, or gently working through experiences that feel painful, confusing, or overwhelming.
Our therapeutic relationship is built on trust, safety, and genuine care. Finding a therapist who feels like the right fit for you is an important part of the process, and therapy can become a valuable source of support, self-understanding, growth, and healing throughout life’s challenges.

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.
