About me
You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, trauma, low self-esteem, or difficult experiences from your past. Perhaps you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns that you understand but can’t seem to change. Life may look fine from the outside, but something doesn’t feel right. I offer a warm, down-to-earth space where we can explore what’s happening, understand what may be keeping you stuck, and work towards meaningful change. I won’t simply sit and listen; I’ll ask questions, offer different perspectives and, when helpful, challenge you too.
I’m an integrative psychotherapist, EMDR therapist and life coach. I tailor therapy to you, drawing on Person-Centred Therapy, CBT, ACT, DBT and Somatic approaches. I also offer EMDR as a separate, structured therapy for trauma and distressing experiences.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, particularly if you’re unsure where to start or whether therapy is right for you. You don’t need to have everything figured out before getting in touch. If something in your life isn’t working, or you simply know you want things to be different, you’re welcome to reach out, and we can take it from there.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an Accredited member of the BACP as an Integrated Psychotherapist and an EMDR therapist. I work with various issues such as anxiety, addictions, bereavement, depression, divorce/separation, low self-esteem, CPTSD, and major life transitions. Being an Integrated Psychotherapist allows me to utilise various approaches and skill sets and to tailor these to your individual needs. I have trained in modalities such as Person-Centred, CBT, Gestalt, Narrative and Attachment, ACT, and DBT.
I have further training in coaching, mindfulness and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), which broadens my therapeutic toolbox. I integrate these into my practice where appropriate to help you address your issues and achieve personal growth and healing.

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.
