About me
Are you struggling with the demands of life?
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or finding it difficult to cope and unsure how to move forward?
Sometimes life can become difficult to manage, and talking to someone can make a real difference,
I am a compassionate and dedicated Integrative Therapist with 18 years experience in helping adults, children and adolescents offering a safe, confidential and no-judgemental space where you can talk openly and be heard without judgement.
My aim is to work alongside you at your own pace, helping you explore your thoughts and feelings, understand what may be holding you back, and develop helping coping strategies that help you work towards positive change.
I offer and integrative and creative approach drawing from different therapeutic ways of working to create counselling and psychotherapy that is tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Whether you are dealing with anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, personal growth or difficult life transitions, I am here to listen, understand, and walk alongside you as you work towards healing and growth.
I believe that therapy isn't just about solving problems. It is about discovering the underlying patterns and emotions that influence our daily lives. Together we will work to uncover your strengths and build a path forward that aligns with your values and goals.
My approach integrates evidence based interventions tailor made to fit your individual needs.
I believe that healing is a deeply personal journey, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Whether you are navigating childhood trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, or emotional wounds from difficult life events, we will work together to build resilience, process difficult emotions, and develop coping strategies that empower you to move forward.
Through Therapy & Psychoeducation you will learn:
- Who am I ? - A deeper understanding of self.
- What is it that is preventing me from living the life that I want?
- How Traumatic experiences affect the Brain & Body.
- Common Trauma and Anxiety Responses and ways to manage them.
- Flashbacks, Intrusive Thoughts, Avoidance, Emotional Numbing, Heightened Emotions
- How Trauma Affects Relationships
- Attachment Styles
- How To Heal
- The Importance of Self Care
- A Roadmap for Recovery
With the combination of Talking Therapy, Somatic Therapy and Creative Therapy I will help you reconnect with yourself, your emotions and your body to heal from trauma, stress, and emotional challenges. Drawing from the powerful connection between mind and body, I offer a holistic approach to therapy that goes beyond traditional talking therapy. I will work with you to access the wisdom held within your body, cultivating awareness and releasing stored tension and emotions that may be impacting your emotional and physical well-being.
With many years of experience, I will guide you through personalised sessions that integrate a range of techniques. You may be dealing with chronic pain, ME, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Anxiety, Depression or Trauma and working to heal your body as well as your mind can empower you to break free from old patterns and step into an more grounded, resilient self.
I believe in the profound healing potential of the mind and body and honour each person's unique journey. Together we can work towards creating balance, self awareness, and a greater sense of peace, health and vitality in your life.
I invite you to reach out and take the first step towards healing. Together we can explore what it means to be truly at home in your body and restore your sense of well-being. If you are ready to begin your healing journey, reach out for an initial consultation or to see how I can help you.

Member organisations
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.
