About me

I offer confidential, compassionate therapy for individuals who want to understand themselves better, work through emotional challenges, and build healthier patterns in their lives.

I support individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, trauma, loss, and low self-esteem. Sessions focus on developing insight, strengthening emotional resilience, and creating practical strategies that support long-term wellbeing.

My work with couples is informed by the Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) model, which helps partners understand emotional patterns, improve communication, and build stronger, more secure connections.

Alongside therapy, I also offer a mediation-focused service for couples and families. This is a short-term, structured piece of work designed to support people in navigating conflict, improving communication, and reaching mutual understanding. The emphasis here is on mediation rather than ongoing therapy.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), an effective method for processing trauma, distressing memories, and the emotional impact of difficult life events. EMDR can help reduce emotional intensity, build resilience, and support clients in moving forward with greater clarity and stability.

I support clients with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, offering a safe, non-judgemental space to explore whatever they may be facing.

NCPS
National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS)

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
