About me
I’m a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which means I work in line with their ethical and professional standards.
Alongside private practice, I’ve worked in both NHS and third sector mental health services, supporting adults experiencing a broad range of emotional and mental health challenges. This has given me experience working with people from many different backgrounds and circumstances.
My Approach
The way I work is grounded in being present, attentive, and human.
I don’t see therapy as something I do to you, but something we do together. My role is to offer a steady, supportive space where you can bring whatever feels difficult or uncertain, without pressure to present things in a particular way.
People often describe therapy with me as a space where they feel listened to, not judged, and able to make sense of what they're experiencing in a way that feels clearer and more manageable.
Alongside this, where it feels helpful, we can also look at more practical ways of coping and responding to what you’re experiencing day to day. This might include finding small, manageable strategies that support you outside of sessions, helping you feel more steady and able to navigate things in real time, not just understand them in the room.
In the Therapy Room
I aim to be warm, consistent, and thoughtful in my work. I will meet you at your pace.
I see the therapeutic relationship as central to the work - feeling secure, respected, and genuinely understood can create the conditions for meaningful change to happen.
At its core, my practice is about creating a space where you can feel more grounded, more connected to yourself, and less alone with what you’re carrying.
If you would like to get a better feel for whether I’m the right therapist for you, please feel free to contact me to arrange a free 20-minute introductory call. This is an informal opportunity to ask any questions you may have and see how it feels to speak with me.
