About me
Looking for counselling is a great step towards improving your wellbeing! With my relaxed and authentic approach to counselling, I aim to make therapy as comfortable and compatible for you as possible, helping you achieve your wellbeing goals.
Whether it's anxiety, depression, phobias, OCD, grief, or something else affecting your life, we can work together to try and help you come out the other side more content and fulfilled in life. Counselling and therapy is about you! You talking about what you want to talk about, you expressing yourself freely, you finding a way through the hardships you're facing; it is my responsibility to listen, empathise, and guide you, wherever I can.
I have an integrative approach to counselling, meaning I utilise a variety of tools and techniques in therapy in order to best support you. My approach is centred around Humanism, meaning I value providing you with authenticity, empathy and acceptance, because I value you.
My priorities in counselling are: Creating a safe, comfortable, and confidential environment. Presenting my authentic self, avoiding overly professional and medical approaches to therapy. Advocating for you, and your goals.
I've worked with an array of presenting concerns in therapy, primarily; identity, sex/relationship concerns, LGBTQ+ concerns, and common mental health conditions.
I am highly passionate about my work in mental health, and am always trying to learn and grow.
I really hope to hear from you!

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.
