About me 

Feeling overwhelmed? You don't have to go through it alone.

If you're struggling with stress, anxiety, or difficult emotions, I’m here to help. As a fully qualified psychotherapist with 10 years’ experience, I offer confidential, compassionate counselling in Horsforth and Harrogate, tailored to your individual needs.

✔️ Free Initial Telephone Consultation (20 mins)– A chance to see if counselling feels right for you.
✔️ Flexible Sessions – In-person or online, to fit around your life.
✔️ A Safe, Supportive Space – Somewhere to talk openly, without judgement.

It’s not always easy to make sense of our thoughts and feelings, and loved ones—however well-meaning—can sometimes be too close to the situation. Counselling gives you the time and space to find clarity, gain confidence, and move forward with hope.

Take that first step today. Get in touch for a friendly chat.

Training, qualifications & experience

A Tailored and Compassionate Approach to Counselling

I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy. I am committed to the 'Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions' which governs safe and professional practice.

My counselling approach is integrative and relational, meaning I draw on a range of therapeutic models to suit your individual needs and personality. These include humanistic, existential, behavioural, psychodynamic, transactional analysis, and creative therapies. I have extensive experience in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma.

For those who find faith and spirituality significant, I understand the profound impact these can have on personal well-being. As a practising Christian, I can incorporate these aspects into our work together—only if relevant and meaningful to you.

I offer both short-term and open-ended therapy, with regular reviews to ensure the support remains aligned with your needs.
