About me
My approach is both integrative and existential. I acknowledge what it means to be human and the inevitable difficulties and discomforts. I work with clients on how, despite these, we may carve out our unique paths to deeper personal meaning, purpose, acceptance and peace.
It is my belief that there is the ability within all of us to identify and to transcend our childhood and societal conditioning and patterns. These hold us back from more joy, ease, and inspiration. My aim is support my clients in becoming more familiar with the wise, mature and grounded parts of themselves rather than being ruled by the reactive inner child. Identifying needs, boundaries, our hearts deepest desires, what we can change and must accept, are all part of this work.
In this current technological world, in my opinion, there is a growing importance of soul work to support, enhance and expand our ways of Being in the world. I completed my dissertation on the importance of a relationship with nature as an integral part of this Being. I have practiced yoga, meditation and breath work for a number of years and I support the growing movement of psychotherapy working alongside psychedelics.
I have a background in the arts and the body. I ran a small collective of studios for 10 years which offered space and community for young, creative businesses as well as a yoga studio and 'revolving' space encouraging expression and creativity of art, music, food, sound healing, movement, dance and breath.
Ultimately, I believe how we are relating to others, to our work, to our lives, begins with how we relate to ourselves. Few of us were taught how to be with painful or fearful feelings as children or how to hold ourselves in tenderness, grace and compassion in our darkest hours. This is the path to transformation and liberation.
I have been on my own journey and I am, as we all are, a work in progress. Accompanying people back to their true selves and learning how to use this small and precious time here growing, thriving is what I love most about this work.

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.
