About me
I bring a creative, relational approach to therapy, integrating practical exercises, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed practices to help people process complex emotional experiences, build resilience and re-engage with life and relationships. I am skilled in working with trauma, anxiety, neurodivergence (including ASD), identity formation, and emotional regulation.
My approach is grounded, compassionate, and tailored to meet you wherever you are in your journey. Having grown up on the margins and being "othered" myself, I understand what it’s like to feel unseen, unheard, minimised or on the outside looking in. I also have a deep understanding of how family systems, compounded by cultural tensions, expectations and unrealistic ideals, can impact deeply on one's sense of self-worth. That lived experience shapes the way I listen: with empathy for those who have had to navigate the world in ways that weren’t always met with understanding or compassion. This experience has enabled me to connect with people from all walks of life, especially those carrying stories that haven’t always found a safe place to land.
I provide a calm, confidential space where you can be fully seen and thoughtfully supported, whether you’re working through the past, facing present challenges, or seeking a clearer way forward. I am especially aware of how shame can keep us silent or stuck, and I work mindfully to create an environment where these difficult feelings can be explored without fear of judgment.
I offer a free, no-obligation 30-minute consultation online. It’s a chance for us to meet, talk about what’s going on for you, and explore how therapy might help. Most importantly, it’s a space for you to decide if I feel like the right fit for you. We’ll identify what’s bringing you to therapy and begin to shape what support might look like.
I usually recommend starting with at least 12 weekly sessions, but this is not a rigid rule; it’s a starting point. Sessions last 50 minutes and are typically held at the same time and place each week.
Everything shared in therapy is confidential. And the space we create together is yours, held with care, curiosity, and no judgment.

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.
