About me
My therapy practice aims to help you understand yourself more, to make sense of things in your life, and ultimately, aid you in feeling and living better.
In our work, you'll learn about yourself, we'll figure out why you feel the way you do, and we'll think about the patterns in your life that might be holding you back. People tend to arrive at therapy during periods of transition, when they're feeling low or anxious and can't quite explain why, or when life feels stuck, overwhelming, or difficult to make sense of. Sometimes, I work with people who feel they are thriving and want to use therapy to deepen their understanding of their unconscious mind and their attachment.
I offer sessions both in person and online, and work with individuals and couples. My training and expertise integrates attachment theory and psychoanalytic therapy. This type of therapy is particularly helpful for those struggling with:
- anxiety, depression, or low mood
- low self-esteem
- difficulties in relationships
- patterns of persistent conflict with no clear resolution
- experiences of trauma or PTSD, including suicidal feelings
- living with disability, chronic illness or long-term health conditions
- feelings of shame, fear, and anger
Many of the people I work with have spent their lives adapting to environments that did not fully accommodate them. This includes people who are neurodivergent, such as those with ADHD or autism, as well as people whose identities or emotional needs were not recognised or supported growing up. These ways we learned to cope early in life can often show up later as anxiety, low self-worth, perfectionism, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others.
In our together we will focus on helping you understand the patterns that repeat in your life and relationships. We will explore why certain emotions feel so intense, why the same difficulties keep arising, and how past experiences continue to shape the present.
I place inclusivity at the centre of my practice. I offer a welcoming and affirming space for LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent clients, as well as for men and others who may have felt pressure to hide parts of themselves or to cope alone. Many people I work with grew up feeling that something about them was wrong, when in reality their environment or society could not make space for who they were.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP-registered integrative psychotherapist. I hold a post-graduate diploma in counselling & psychotherapy from the University of East London, and am currently undertaking further training in attachment-based psychoanalysis. My research interest relates to trauma, attachment and how these interact with chronic health conditions.
I have specialist interest attachment and trauma, particularly how this impacts our ability to form and maintain meaningful relationships, leads to self sabotage, and creates dynamics of action, guilt and shame. I have a research interest in chronic illnesses such as ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and long-COVID. My approach recognises that these are very real and serious illnesses, and that talk therapy can help sufferers to deal with the many challenges they present.
I also work regularly with people who experience anxiety, and individuals who battle with addictions and difficult feelings such as anger, shame, or hopelessness. Low mood, depression, and difficulties regulating your feelings may also be reasons you might want to work with me.
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.
