About Me

I am an experienced integrative counsellor, qualifying with Life Force School of Counselling, gaining a BACP accredited Diploma in Integrative Counselling, meaning I studied and practiced a range of therapeutic approaches, for example Person-Centred Therapy, as well as Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. This means that I can support you using a variety of theories and techniques to suit your needs. I have achieved well over 100 hours of supervised counselling sessions and work from a space at my home.

At the core of my support I will listen with empathy and acceptance, and without judgement, allowing time and space for you to be yourself. I aim to support you to come to your own solutions about a way forward in your life, working from a space at my home.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within their Ethical Framework for the Counselling professions including ensuring I meet the minimum standard of Continuing Professional Development and Supervision. I am currently working towards a further qualification to enable me to offer online and telephone counselling sessions. I also hold professional indemnity insurance.

What is Counselling?

Counselling offers a safe, supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences — helping you understand yourself better and find a way forward, making positive changes to improve life and relationships.

It is a confidential, joint process between you and the therapist, where you can talk openly about what’s going on for you — without fear of judgement. It’s a space to explore difficult feelings, patterns, or life experiences in the presence of someone who will listen with empathy, care, and respect.

You don’t need to be in crisis to seek counselling. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply want to understand yourself more deeply, counselling can support you in making sense of things. Understanding how and why we have certain thought processes and reactions can help us change our response to difficult situations. As people we are not able to change other people's reactions and responses but we can change our own, which can in turn help improve our relationships. Understanding ourselves and why we do what we do can help us to make positive changes leading to a more fulfilled life.
