About me
You’ve always tried to do everything ‘right’. You’re working hard, being reliable, pushing yourself to meet expectations. But no matter how much you achieve, that nagging voice in the back of your mind tells you it’s not enough. You scroll through social media seeing old classmates hit milestones, while you feel like you’re falling behind. You compare yourself to others, wondering why life seems easier for them.
Maybe you feel like you should have it all figured out by now, but instead, you’re exhausted from overthinking, second-guessing yourself and never quite feeling good enough.
This is where I can help. As an experienced and specialist counsellor, I support ambitious, anxious people break free from the perfectionism, imposter syndrome and self-doubt keeping them stressed and on edge.
I provide a safe, supportive space to heal, along with practical tools and strategies rooted in what really works. But sometimes, the key to real change comes not from thinking more, but from exploring differently. And that’s why I also offer creative techniques to help shift the patterns keeping you stuck - especially helpful if you’re someone who gets caught up in overthinking or stuck in your head.
If you’ve already read self-help books, listened to podcasts and maybe even tried therapy before and you still feel stuck, then a fresh, creative approach might be exactly what you need. And if that’s not your thing? No worries - we’ll work in a way that feels good to you.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, but I’m here to support you. Sessions with me are safe, warm and judgement-free. Clients appreciate my relaxed, down-to-earth approach which is honest and relatable. Above all, I bring curiosity, compassion and genuine care to every session, creating a space where you can explore, grow and heal at your own pace.
If this sounds like what you’re looking for, let’s book a free 20-minute consultation so we can see if the way I work would suit you at this time and I can answer any questions you have.
You don’t need to have it all figured out before reaching out, that’s what I’m here to help with!

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.

Additional information
Extended sessions also available:
75 mins (1.5 x 50 minute session): £120
110 mins (2 x 50 minute session + 10 min break): £160
Ideal for people whose schedules may not allow for weekly sessions but still want the time/space for deeper work and to keep session momentum.
Also for those who feel they would benefit from longer sessions to process complex emotions/experiences.
To begin with, I suggest seeing each other more regularly so that we can build our therapeutic relationship and then reducing session frequency when appropriate.
