About me
Do you find it difficult to relax and prioritise your needs, without feeling guilty? Do you also find yourself doubting your judgement, are self-critical or struggle to say no? I support people experiencing recurrent bouts of anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, as well as those affected by past trauma and abuse. My approach works sensitively at your pace, which always includes talking about what you want from sessions.
Building a trusting relationship where you feel understood is an essential part of the therapeutic process. Working together, I can support you to understand your response to traumatic events, exploring your lived experience and recognising how these may continue to affect you and your everyday life. Together, we can explore your feelings, identify patterns of behaviour and how you see and feel about yourself.
We don’t just have to talk as I am trained in Somatic therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, an accredited Root Cause therapist and Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner. These therapies can also provide tangible tools to help you feel more resilient and able to regulate your nervous system between sessions and after sessions end.
I offer face to face sessions and online sessions via Zoom.
I offer a free 15 minute telephone call to explore together what you want from counselling. If you feel I am the right person to work with you, we can set up an initial session.

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.
