About me
Welcome, sometimes we can benefit from talking things through with an experienced therapist who will not judge you and give honest guidance and feedback.
I set up with the aim to provide a warm, non-pathologising therapy space that people could access without fear of judgement. I take a modern approach to therapy, which is informed by not just my training but also my own lived experiences.
You may be turning to therapy with a specific issue in mind or simply be experiencing a feeling of disconnection. I can support you with warmth and guidance to help you gain a new sense of clarity, enthusiasm and confidence. Together we can look at any unhelpful patterns of behaviours to shift into more healthy patterns of self care and decision making.
I offer a confidential space for you to feel heard and understood. We can work on building new tools and a fresh awareness of your resilience. I offer guidance towards the value of self-reflection as you gain insight into the roots of your thinking and core self beliefs. How have past experiences informed and shaped your internal structures. Confidential discussions can bring into awareness the unconscious blocks that may be keeping you stuck in unhealthy places.
Gaining a clearer appreciation of your current situation is the first step towards making conscious changes in how you relate to yourself and others.
Unravelling any anxiety, stresses or low mood experiences helps you to manage uncomfortable emotions and self regulate with healthy coping skills.
About Therapy
Identifying psychological blocks and feeling understood in our work can help you to express and process your experiences in new ways. Gently embracing new insights to the challenges that trouble you can help us to develop new behavioural tools and a fresh direction in life.
I offer a space where any personal difficulties can be gently unfolded and understood at a pace that you set. Each session is an opportunity to feel truly seen and heard in a way that can be deeply healing. I work at your pace which allows themes of discussion to surface naturally and when you are ready. This guides you to set your therapeutic aims for therapy.
My practice is currently based online and I work on a short or long term basis. Sessions take place on Zoom and last for fifty minutes. I am a therapist who does challenge and will encourage you to work at depth, though all in a safe and aware manner, and at your pace. I believe that at the core of good therapy is the relationship and feeling safe.

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.
