About me
I am passionate about helping people make sense of their experiences and find relief from the emotional challenges life brings. I offer a calm, non‑judgemental space where you can talk openly, reflect on what’s troubling you, and explore your wellbeing and self‑development — nothing is too small or too overwhelming to bring.
Your first session is a paid introductory session, available as a half or full session at the corresponding fee. This gives us space to explore what’s brought you here, understand your needs, and begin shaping a plan that supports meaningful change.
My approach is trauma‑informed, compassionate, and mindful, rooted in the belief that with the right support, anyone can heal and grow. Together, we look at the deeper patterns shaping your thoughts, feelings, and relationships, helping you build resilience and move toward a more fulfilling life.
Individual Counselling & Psychotherapy
You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or difficult family or relationship dynamics. I offer a safe, steady space to explore what’s happening beneath the surface and support you in making clearer, healthier decisions. My role is to walk alongside you as you face painful emotions, understand your patterns, and regain a sense of control.
Relationship Counselling
I understand the impact of toxic or emotionally demanding relationships — the hope‑disappointment cycle, the confusion, and the deep emotional wounds that can follow. Early experiences and unconscious beliefs often shape the relationships we find ourselves in. I help you explore these patterns, rebuild self‑awareness, and move toward healthier ways of relating.
I also support survivors of domestic or sexual abuse, including those navigating the legal system. I recognise how often the complexities of abusive dynamics are misunderstood, and I offer a space where your experiences are taken seriously and held with care.
Couples Counselling
As a qualified relationship therapist, I work with couples facing communication issues, affairs, emotional disconnection, and long‑standing patterns shaped by early life experiences. I offer a structured, relational approach that includes meeting each partner individually when needed, helping you both understand what you bring into the relationship and how to move forward together.
I also offer Couple’s Therapy for Depression (CTfD) for couples where one or both partners are experiencing depression or anxiety.
Families & Young People
I work with families and young people navigating emotional difficulties, identity challenges, relationship strain, or the impact of trauma. Young people often carry unspoken pressures from school, family expectations, or cultural identity. I offer a calm, supportive space where they can talk openly and feel understood.
For families, I help untangle communication patterns, rebuild trust, and explore the deeper dynamics that may be causing conflict or emotional distance. My focus is on strengthening emotional resilience, improving well-being, and helping each person feel more grounded and connected.
A Commitment to Your Growth
Life’s challenges often reveal deeper emotional needs. I help you explore these safely, understand yourself more fully, and develop healthier ways of coping. Many clients notice a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month, with deeper, sustained improvement as therapy continues.
I offer short‑ or long‑term therapy, tailored to your needs, and I work in line with the ethical standards of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP).
Training, qualifications & experience
About Me & How I Work
I am an integrative, relational, and trauma‑informed psychotherapist who works at depth to help you understand the root causes of your emotional and relational struggles. My approach is pluralistic, meaning I collaborate with you and adapt to your needs — no two sessions are ever the same. I draw from a wide range of evidence‑based models, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), psychodynamic therapy, systemic and interpersonal approaches, CBT, transactional analysis, and group therapy principles.
I offer a calm, steady, and compassionate space where you can slow down, talk openly, and explore what’s been weighing on you. Whether you’re navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship or family difficulties, identity challenges, or emotional overwhelm, I help you make sense of your experiences and reconnect with yourself in a grounded, meaningful way.
If you are unsure about what to start with or prefer to discuss how we can work together or how I work, we may begin with a call, a paid introductory session — available as a half or full session — giving you space to share what’s brought you here and what you hope will change. If not, we begin with a first session. From there, we explore the deeper patterns shaping your thoughts, feelings, and relationships, and we collaborate on a clear plan to help you move forward. Many clients notice a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month, with deeper, sustained improvement as therapy continues.
My work is emotionally attuned, culturally sensitive, and deeply relational. I support individuals, couples, families, young people, and groups, helping you strengthen emotional resilience, improve communication, and build healthier ways of relating. I also offer faith‑sensitive and Christian‑integrated therapy for clients who want to explore their emotional world within the context of their spirituality.
Across all my work — whether with individuals, couples, families, youths, or groups — my aim is to offer a reparative, empowering therapeutic experience that helps you feel more connected, more hopeful, and more in control of your life.

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.

Further information
You are welcome to contact me to arrange a suitable appointment and to ask any questions.
Meeting face-to-face or in person online offers the same service, and you may have a preference that suits your unique needs.
Some have found it helpful to have at least the first session in person, with future sessions online. If this is your preference, let me know, and I will endeavour to see how we can work it out.
I deeply respect and appreciate the circumstances in which someone may need a service but cannot afford it. To this end, I offer limited reduced-fee places, including student discounts, whenever possible. You are welcome to ask when you get in touch.
