About me
You might be here because you’re feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed or stuck – and you’re wanting something in your life to change. You don’t have to face this alone.
I have worked extensively with anxiety, depression, relationship issues (including breakup/divorce), chronic illness and pain, anger, disability, suicidal feelings, the impact of trauma and more. Above all, I see each person as unique – your experiences, needs and hopes matter, and together we can find a way forward both short and long term, that feels right and is healthy for you. I would be honoured to help you on your own journey of healing and growth.
I trained in a range of psychological therapies so I can adapt to what works best for you. With over 10 years of experience in holistic counselling, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and EFT, I bring together a unique blend of approaches that support a wide variety of emotional struggles. I am also a fully accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which means I am committed to safe, professional and ethical practice.
My aim is to create a safe, non-judgemental space where you feel truly heard and understood. In this environment, we can gently explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, while also helping you connect with your own inner strengths and resources to bring about lasting change.

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.

Further information
I have completed research in the field of psychotherapy, with a focus on the mind–body connection and the role of psychotherapy in working with chronic pain. This research explored the many factors that influence chronic pain, as well as the profound impact pain can have on a person’s life — including identity, relationships, social life, confidence and overall wellbeing. It also looked at ways therapists can best support their clients in navigating these challenges.
