About me
I am a compassionate and approachable counsellor/therapist. I can provide you with one-on-one support in navigating various life challenges.
My approach to counselling is not one-size-fits-all. I adapt my support to suit each person's unique situation. Drawing from a wealth of personal and professional experiences, coupled with expertise in a wide array of counselling approaches. I ensure that the counselling journey is tailored to the specific needs of the individual seeking help. Whether you want long term counselling or just a few sessions, I am here to help. Get in touch to arrange an initial virtual session or phone call to discuss what can help.
Recognizing the diverse preferences of today's world, I provide both virtual and in-person sessions. Whether you prefer the accessibility of online therapy or face-to-face interactions or a hybrid.
With over 17 years experience, especially in working with anxiety, depression, neurodiversity including ADHD and Autism, Trauma, CSA, Bereavement, CBT, Low self esteem, LGBTQIA+ and lots of experience working with creatives and tech professionals, I can offer a deep understanding of the pressures and challenges facing those at present. My approach is intergrative so brings togther various humanistic counselling styles. No matter the challenge at hand, I'm here to assist offering insights and strategies to light your way.

Comprehensive Professional Development in:
Advanced Trauma Therapy Techniques
I would see therapy goals as not just to endure life's stresses but to first understand then actively navigate them with purpose and resilience. Rather than simply addressing surface-level symptoms, we'll work collaboratively towards long-term, positive transformation, leveraging the strengths and resources you already possess. More often than not, our reactions to external events is rooted in our interpretations and sometimes outdated reflexe which lead to distress. Therapy journeys can be of discovery, learning to pause and consciously respond. By examining how past experiences shape our present reactions, it is possible to redefine those responses, for a more better way of managing and a long term aim of thriving.

Member organisations
school 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 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.
