About My Counselling Practice
In-Person Counselling
The Therapeutic Relationship
Empathy And Understanding
In-person counselling offers a powerful way to reconnect in our increasingly digital world. Stepping outside your home or workplace creates a dedicated, physical boundary that allows you to truly take time for yourself. By meeting in person, you can establish a deeply grounded therapeutic relationship in a neutral space, giving your thoughts the room and clarity they need to heal.

The Therapeutic Relationship
Empathy And Understanding
True change begins in a space where you feel completely safe, accepted, and understood. I provide a confidential environment where you can feel safely held and supported without judgement. When we experience genuine acceptance from others, it transforms how we see ourselves, opening the door to meaningful growth and healing.

The Therapeutic Relationship
Healing begins with connection. I focus on building a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship where you can truly feel heard. Together, we will create a space to explore the parts of yourself that have become hidden, lost, or have yet to be discovered. By understanding your deeper self, you can foster healthier relationships and live more authentically.
Online Counselling
I've Got You Covered
The Therapeutic Relationship
If work, childcare, travel, or anxiety make face-to-face appointments difficult, online counselling offers a flexible way to get support from your own space.
To get the most out of your sessions, please ensure you are in a quiet, private area where you won't be overheard. If finding total privacy at home or work is a challenge, wearing headphones is a great way to protect your confidentiality.
Confidentiality
I've Got You Covered
I've Got You Covered
By attending your first counselling appointment, you agree to my terms and conditions regarding confidentiality and data protection. This agreement will always be sent to you prior to our first session, and I may also ask you to sign a copy. Confidentiality is vital to creating a safe space for your therapy. However, please note that it has legal and ethical limits: I may need to break confidentiality if I believe that you or someone else is at significant risk of harm.

Your safety, privacy, and well-being are at the heart of everything I do. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and strictly follow their Ethical Framework to ensure you receive safe, high-quality care. I am also registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) to protect your data, and I hold full professional indemnity insurance.
Integrated Practice and Professional Development
Central to my practice is a deep awareness of intersectionality—the understanding of how an individual's personal characteristics, such as race, gender, culture, sexuality, and socioeconomic background, intersect with broader societal structures and systems to uniquely shape their lived experiences. In our work together, I hold a dedicated space to explore how these systemic pressures impact your well-being, ensuring your individual story is understood within its wider context. This reflective approach, combined with my continued collaboration with well-regarded organisations, provides me with a robust network of professional support that deeply enriches my private practice.
