About me
I believe that lasting change begins with awareness. Before we can change our thoughts, behaviours or relationships, we first need to understand them. Therapy provides a space to slow down, become curious about ourselves and recognise the patterns we have developed, often over many years, in response to our experiences.
Rather than avoiding difficult emotions or trying to remove them, I encourage clients to acknowledge, accept and lean into their feelings with compassion. It is often by moving towards pain, rather than away from it, that we begin to move beyond it. As clients develop greater emotional awareness and resilience, they become better able to make conscious choices instead of repeating familiar but unhelpful patterns.
In couples work, I see the relationship itself as the client. Together we explore the interactional patterns that keep both partners feeling stuck, helping each person understand not only themselves, but also the impact they have on one another. By increasing awareness, strengthening emotional resilience and developing new ways of relating, couples can begin to create healthier, more connected relationships.

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.
