About me
My interest in counselling developed from being a mental health first aider at work. That experience inspired a journey of research and training to become a counsellor/psychotherapist.
If someone were to ask me why I believe in therapy, I often say this: there is no greater strength than being self aware, and then everything you choose to do in life is an informed choice.
I will not sugarcoat it; being in a counselling journey can be daunting, as you are touching all those deeply buried emotions, and I am here to say that I will support you to do that in a safe and empowering way to the best of my ability.
I am a compassionate integrative counsellor/psychotherapist. In my practice, I draw from an integrative approach, blending Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Existential, and Cognitive theories. This means that I can help support you through difficult times, explore your inner child, develop self-awareness, and cultivate resilience through changing thinking patterns or behaviors. I understand that emotions can sometimes be difficult to express verbally. Because it is important that I allow my clients to be who they are, I also work creatively with clients, incorporating methods like art, poetry, and song, to facilitate expression.
I prioritise creating a safe and non-judgmental space where my clients feel heard, safe, validated, and understood. I believe this is super important when fostering growth, resilience, or healing.

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
In our sessions, you will find a safe, compassionate and understanding space. I will listen, really listen, and we will figure out what works best for you. Sometimes, when expressing through words are difficult, we might try things like art or writing to help you express yourself. I aim to empower my clients with the tools and insights they need to thrive beyond our therapeutic relationship, fostering self-sufficiency and a sense of well-being.
