About me
If you're stuck in patterns that aren't working, struggling in relationships, feeling disconnected from yourself or others, or trying to make sense of something difficult, together we can work out what's happening, why, and how things can change.
I work with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and the lasting effects of trauma.
We explore what is keeping you stuck: patterns that repeat, the inner voices that shape how you see yourself, the roles you find yourself in, and ways of coping that may once have helped but now create problems.
My approach is thoughtful, direct and authentic. I’ll challenge you and laugh with you.
How I work
The first phase of therapy is about understanding. I take time to get to know you: what's been happening and what's brought you here now.
From there, we find a shared focus: what we're here to understand or change. I don't rush this, because what someone leads with isn't always what's driving things.
Once that's clear, we agree how we'll work together, so the therapy has purpose and direction.
Background
Before training as a psychotherapist, I worked in literature and television. I've always been drawn to stories. Now I work with the ones that live inside people rather than on the page.
Experience
Alongside my private practice, I am the lead therapist in a residential therapeutic service, working with complex trauma and attachment.
Availability
Weekly evening sessions are currently full. I do have availability during the daytime throughout the week. Or on Saturday daytime.

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.
