About me
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in the same emotional or relationship patterns, you’re not alone — and it doesn’t mean you’re broken. Many people come to therapy feeling confused by their reactions or unsure why certain difficulties keep repeating. I help you make sense of these patterns by exploring different parts of yourself, creating space for understanding, healing and meaningful change.
Alongside talking therapy, I also offer reflective written therapy, providing an opportunity to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences through writing. For some people, putting words on paper can create a different kind of space for reflection, helping them process emotions, notice patterns and develop a deeper understanding of themselves at their own pace.
I offer a calm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can slow things down and feel truly heard. My work is person-centred and trauma-informed, drawing on Internal Family Systems and somatic approaches. This means we pay attention not only to thoughts and emotions, but also to what your body may be holding, helping you develop deeper awareness, emotional regulation and self-compassion rather than simply learning ways to cope.
I work with adults and couples, especially women in mid-life, who are struggling with anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma, abuse, or low self-esteem. With couples, I support both partners to feel understood, recognise unhelpful patterns and begin relating to each other with greater clarity and care.
At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I aim to offer a safe, trusting connection where all parts of you are welcome — even those you may feel ashamed of or have learned to hide. Whether through conversation or reflective writing, I support you in creating a deeper connection with yourself, developing greater self-awareness, and moving towards meaningful change. Many clients describe developing a stronger sense of self, improved relationships and a renewed feeling of hope.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do this alone. If something here resonates, you are warmly invited to get in touch by phone or email to arrange an initial conversation.

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.
