About me
Offering online sessions only.
As an experienced Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, I am qualified to work with Adults, Couples and Young People (12-18). My work has a focus on our connection with ourselves, and relationships with others. Usually including some presentation of anxiety and low mood.
My experience of working with both adults and children has given me vast experience and a deep understanding of working with childhood trauma, and how this can present in adulthood. Evidence has shown that anxiety and low mood can frequently be traced back to some form of trauma.
Acknowledging and addressing this can begin the work of moving on, but I know that this can sometimes feel insurmountable.
Sometimes when there is trauma, or unresolved “unconscious stuff”. We can find ourselves unconsciously repeating patterns of behaviours, that we perhaps don’t understand, that no longer help us.
When we begin to work through the unresolved trauma, explore where it originated from and begin to process the attached emotions. We then become more aware of our “unconscious stuff” and how it shows up. With this new awareness and insight, we can then move to a more conscious way of being, understanding and responding.
Understanding your subconscious mind is a journey of self-discovery. Healing old wounds and unlearning negative patterns takes time. As we peel back the layers, you may uncover limiting beliefs and fears that have held you back. Relearning involves adopting new beliefs, that will support your growth and personal development.
When we begin to understand and notice our unhelpful coping strategies/patterns quicker. We can then look into new ways of being and responding, that fits better with who we are. Resulting in a greater understanding of ourselves, realising we now have choice in how we respond and notice a change in how we show up within relationships and, for ourselves.
I hope me explaining the outlines of how I work has been helpful in supporting your understanding of my modality and who I am as a therapist.
I hope to hear from you soon.

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.
