About me
All Sessions are Online via Zoom
Does this sound familiar:
- You’re trapped in a loop of overthinking and self-doubt, never quite feeling good enough.
- Your relationships feel strained or disappointing, no matter how much you try.
- Relaxing and enjoying life feels like an impossible task — your mind just won’t let you.
You don’t have to keep living this way.
I help people like you — those who seem successful on the surface but underneath are running on empty. Maybe you swing between overachieving and burnout, always pushing through, but never feeling at peace.
In our work together, you’ll have a space where you are truly listened to and understood. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to help you make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface. Together, we’ll identify patterns like perfectionism, people-pleasing, and procrastination — the things that keep you feeling stuck.
I’ll support you as you learn to quiet your inner critic and build a kinder, more honest relationship with yourself. This will become the foundation for a life where you can:
- Understand who you really are.
- Recognise your own needs — and feel confident expressing them.
- Form relationships that feel authentic and fulfilling.
You deserve to move beyond survival mode and start to thrive.
If you’re ready to take that step, I’d love to hear from you. You can book a session through my website, or if you have any questions, email me and I’ll get back to you within 48 hours.

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.
