About Grace | A Compassionate Approach to Counselling — Grace Counselling & Psychotherapy

Why I created Grace

Therapy can often feel out of reach, too expensive, impossible to fit around everyday life, or it can mean waiting weeks for an appointment, when what you really need is someone to talk to.

I want to make therapy more accessible and affordable, without compromising the quality of the support you receive. Whether you're looking for ongoing counselling, need a more affordable option, or you're having a difficult day and would benefit from talking to someone sooner, I want accessing therapy to feel as straightforward as possible.

About me

I'm a qualified person-centred counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), registration number 420865. You can view my BACP Therapist Directory profile and my Counselling Directory profile.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than ten years working alongside people experiencing emotional difficulties, addiction, trauma, financial difficulties, and difficult periods in their lives, and those experiences shaped the therapist I wanted to become.

I don't believe every difficult feeling needs a label or that struggling means there is something wrong with you. I firmly believe that our lives are shaped by our experiences, relationships, expectations, and the environments we've lived in.

Sometimes what looks like a personal problem makes much more sense when we understand what someone has been carrying.

That's the perspective I bring into my work. I want to meet people as they are, without judgement, without assuming there is something wrong with them, and without expecting them to arrive with the right words. Just with grace, compassion and the belief that everyone deserves to be heard.
