About me
I believe that people have within themselves, the ability to realise their own best potential. However, sometimes things get in the way of us being all that we can be. For example, difficult relationships, traumatic experiences, low confidence or negative messages about ourselves can stop us living our lives to the full.
In relationship with each other, we can work together to gain insight into what has been holding you back and think about ways that can help you move towards your full potential.
You may wish to explore things like:
Anxiety
Depression
Sexuality/Gender Identity
Sex & Desire
Questions around identity-Who am I? What's it all about?
Relationship issues
Existential Issues
Domestic Abuse
Panic
Bereavement
Boredom or dissatisfaction
Abuse
Self-esteem
Trauma
I am a UKCP Registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with a private practice which is currently based online. I can work with clients anywhere throughout the UK.
I can offer you a safe and confidential space where you can explore whatever might be troubling you, or stopping you from meeting your best potential in life.
Training, qualifications & experience
- BSc, in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling from Matrix College of Counselling and Psychotherapy (Accred. Middlesex University).
- Advance Diploma in Integrative Counselling from Matrix College of Counselling and Psychotherapy (Accred. Middlesex University).
- Diploma in Integrative Counselling from Matrix College of Counselling and Psychotherapy (Accred. Middlesex University).
I have been working with clients in a range of settings for eight years, and have my own private practice alongside agency work.
I have developed a particular expertise in working with people who want to explore gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity. There are many issues that we might face as we explore these aspects of ourselves, however you identify.
These can include shame, coming out to yourself and others when safe to do so, fear of judgement. They might also include an exploration of your beliefs and attitudes to sexuality, sex, desire, consent and relationships in general.
I am interested in all types of relationships, with self and with others, and how the relationships in our past and present affect us. Generally, I like working with people to think outside the box that has been prescribed for them. 'One size fits all' doesn't really work in a society of beautifully unique individuals.
I have particular experience in working with the effects of Domestic Abuse, and I have been trained in working with all aspects of abuse. This includes working with less obvious forms of abuse such as emotional or coercive control.
I have in depth experience of working with issues arising from complex family dynamics. I can work with you to explore the relationships around you, and how they may be affecting you.
I am also committed to continuing my professional development, and ensure that I am up to date with the latest research from within and around the profession.
I am trained in adult and children's safeguarding, and am DBS checked.
Member organisations

The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
