About me
Hi, thank you for taking the time to look at my profile.
I am an experienced Integrative Psychotherapist working in private practice, offering both face-to-face and online sessions.
I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step. My aim is to offer a safe, calm and confidential space where you can begin to talk openly about what is going on for you, at your own pace.
My approach is integrative, drawing predominantly from Psychodynamic and Systemic theories, alongside additional training across a range of areas. This allows me to work flexibly and tailor therapy to your individual needs. Whether you are coming as an individual or as a couple, I will work alongside you to explore your experiences, gain understanding, and support you in moving towards meaningful and lasting change.
I have over 14 years of experience supporting individuals and couples, particularly in the area of relationships. This includes working with communication difficulties, conflict, the impact of affairs, and wider family dynamics. I also support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem and challenges within relationships and social connections.
I specialise in working with sex and porn addiction, supporting both individuals and partners, as well as couples navigating recovery together. I understand that this can be a particularly sensitive and complex area, and I offer a non-judgemental and supportive space to work through these difficulties.
Over the years, I have supported thousands of individuals and couples through challenging and often painful experiences. I recognise that every person’s story is unique, and I aim to provide thoughtful, compassionate support that feels right for you.
I am also part of a neurodiverse family, including being a parent of a neurodiverse child. This has shaped both my personal and professional understanding, and I am passionate about supporting neurodiverse individuals, as well as parents and families navigating diagnosis and ongoing support. I have extensive experience working with individuals who are both diagnosed and in the process of diagnosis.

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.
The Association for Treatment of Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity (ATSAC) is the leading UK organisation providing hope, information, support, and treatment options for those affected by sexual addiction and compulsivity.
ATSAC sets standards of practice for qualified therapists and provides accreditation for specialist training courses. A therapist who has gone through ATSAC recognised training will have the knowledge to respect and work with you sensitively to find out how best to support your needs.
Therapy options may include one-to-one sessions, group work, and/or relationship counselling. ATSAC is a not-for-profit organisation.
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.
