About me

Welcome to my page!

You may have a sense that something doesn’t quite feel right, even if you can’t put it into words and maybe certain patterns keep showing up, relationships feel difficult, or past experiences continue to affect how you feel in the present.

I’m a warm, down-to-earth psychotherapist and counsellor. I work with adults and young people experiencing anxiety, stress, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life changes.

I have a particular interest in supporting people affected by narcissistic abuse and emotionally abusive relationships, including the impact this can have on confidence, self-worth, trust, boundaries and sense of self.

My approach is compassionate and tailored to you. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and explore your experiences at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we can make sense of what feels difficult and look more closely at the patterns, experiences or relationships that may be affecting you.

I have experience supporting people with emotional wellbeing, relationships, parenting, self-esteem and the difficulties that can come with major life changes. I also have a strong background working with young people experiencing anxiety, self-harm and significant transitions in their lives.

Above all, I aim to provide a space where you can feel heard, understood and able to explore what matters to you without pressure or judgement.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am an experienced accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor and I am also a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy MBACP (Accred).

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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
