About me
Welcome
You have taken an important first step toward creating meaningful change in your life.
I am a psychotherapist with over 22 years of clinical experience working across both inpatient and outpatient settings. I support individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, phobias, work- and home-related stress, bereavement, and addiction.
My particular area of specialisation and passion is working with disordered eating, body dysmorphia, and eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and compulsive eating. While eating is often assumed to be instinctive, for those struggling with disordered eating it can be deeply complex and distressing. I believe that food is a symptom rather than the underlying cause. My aim is to help you navigate the emotional experiences that have led you to this point, supporting you to develop a healthier relationship with food, your body, and yourself.
My Approach
I work from an integrative humanistic perspective, with a strong focus on the individual’s present-moment experience. The therapeutic process is designed to enhance self-awareness and empower clients to take greater responsibility for their lives and wellbeing. These changes are facilitated within a safe, non-judgemental, and collaborative therapeutic relationship that honours each client’s unique lived experience.
I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
