About me
Do you find yourself constantly questioning your worth?
Are you stuck in patterns of self-doubt, overthinking, or struggling to feel good enough in relationships?
Does anxiety leave you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed?
You’re not alone. I know how heavy it can feel when you're trying to keep everything together on the outside while struggling on the inside. Whether it’s the quiet self-criticism that never seems to stop, the fear of not being liked, or the way emotions can spiral into unhealthy coping mechanisms like emotional eating or avoidance, I understand how exhausting this cycle can be.
I specialise in working with women who are navigating anxiety, self-esteem challenges, relationship struggles, and eating concerns—because I know how deeply these experiences can impact your confidence, your decisions, and how you show up in the world. Therapy is a space where we can make sense of these feelings together, without judgment, so you can start feeling lighter, stronger, and more in control.
I also work with teenagers who are struggling with the pressures of school, friendships, and self-identity. Growing up in today’s world is tough, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.
My approach is warm, compassionate, and deeply understanding. We’ll explore your experiences together at a pace that feels right for you, helping you break free from old patterns and move toward a life where you feel more confident and at ease.
You don’t have to face this alone. If any of this resonates with you, reach out—I’d love to support you on this journey.
Training, qualifications & experience
My qualifications include BA in Criminology and Psychology, Postgraduate diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling followed by MA in Psychodynamic counselling all rewarded by the University of Essex. I am a registered member of BACP and I regularly attend courses that enhance my understanding and help me explore more areas of thought. I have been working within the school system, both in primary and secondary schools, charities and NHS.
Currently I work with YMCA trinity as well as running my own private practice.
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.

Further information
A few things you may want to know:
I work on an open ended basis which means that there is no set numbers of sessions. I believe you will know when you are ready and we will discuss an end to our work together.
Our sessions day and time will be agreed during the first session and will remain the same for as long as we continue to work together. It is important to maintain the routine and for you to be able to have some space to reflect between sessions.
We can work online or I will be able to offer in person sessions in Colchester at the same rate.
Our sessions are confidential and no one has access to your personal information other than me. I appreciate that sometimes it takes time to develop trust and I am open to allow as much time as you need to discuss your story.
There is no pressure to discuss any subjects that you may not want to approach and our session will follow a pace that you are comfortable with.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out and I will be in touch.
