About me
You don’t have to face life’s struggles alone. It’s natural to seek support during difficult times, and I’m here to walk alongside you through whatever challenges you’re facing. Whether you’re dealing with current issues or working through past events that continue to affect you, I’m here to offer the support you need.
As a therapist, I believe in bringing my full, authentic self into the work I do with clients. I don’t subscribe to the idea of “blank face” therapy. So, when you meet me, I hope to meet the real you, too. Our therapeutic relationship is at the heart of our work together, and I strive to create an environment where you feel seen, heard, and understood.
I am a qualified integrative therapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). Also, I have undertaken further study and training in clinical reflective practice, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic theory and clinical assessment. My professional experience includes working within NHS mental health services, private practice, clinical supervision and assessment.
As an integrative therapist, I draw on a variety of approaches, tailoring my work to meet your specific needs and goals. But beyond the techniques, it’s the relationship between us that matters most. I want you to feel comfortable, knowing that our sessions are a space where you can bring your whole self, and we will work together at a pace that feels right for you.
Life is full of experiences that can cause us hurt and distress. Together, we’ll explore not only the emotional impact of those experiences but also how they show up in your body. I believe our emotional and physical selves are deeply connected, and by understanding the body’s responses, we can create a more balanced, harmonious way of living. It’s about helping you process the past so that it doesn’t have such a powerful hold on your present.
My services are fully LGBTQ+ friendly, and I also hold an enhanced DBS, ensuring that I can offer a safe, professional, and inclusive space for all.
Training, qualifications & experience
My core training is in Integrative Therapy, with degrees from University of Greenwich and Reflective Practice from University of Middlesex. Both which allows me to draw from different therapeutic approaches depending on the individual needs of each client. My work is particularly informed by psychodynamic therapy, helping clients explore how earlier relationships and experiences may continue to shape the way they think, feel and relate to others today.
I have also undertaken further training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), from University College London,
A significant part of my clinical experience is in working with children and young people. I have worked therapeutically with children and adolescents within NHS mental health services and private practice, supporting difficulties including anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, school-related difficulties, emotional regulation, trauma and changes within family life. I have a particular interest in working with neurodivergent children and young people, including those with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and ADHD, recognising that therapy often needs to be flexible and adapted to the individual rather than expecting the child to adapt to the therapy.
I have also completed specialist training in working with childhood sexual abuse, trauma, dissociation and attachment difficulties, including training with Into The Light, One in Four and PODS.
My practice therefore brings together integrative, psychodynamic and CBT approaches, alongside specialist experience in child and adolescent therapy, neurodivergence, trauma and the impact of difficult early experiences.
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.
