About me
Hi, thank you for taking the time to look at my profile.
Are you an overthinker? Do you find yourself easily affected by everything? Would you consider yourself quite sensitive? Are you struggling with people-pleasing tendencies or self-esteem issues? Do you find yourself battling with internal conflicts? If this resonates with you, then you are in the right place.
I am a Highly Sensitive, Integrative Psychotherapist who specialises in working with individuals who struggle with self-esteem issues, people-pleasing and are quite sensitive in nature.
You may be feeling tired of being stuck in repeated patterns and find yourself longing for change, yet needing assistance to work through them. Perhaps you're noticing how these behavioural patterns are affecting your relationships, how you feel about yourself, and overall life satisfaction. This is where I come in – I aim to offer you space for guided introspection so that you can uncover the emotional and psychological blockages that are holding you back.
In our sessions, you'll find a nurturing, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings. Together, we'll delve into what's troubling you, to uncover insights, understandings, and clarity to move forward. I will help to guide you towards developing a more harmonious relationship with yourself and others.
My holistic therapeutic approach involves addressing the whole person, including the mind, body and spirit.

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.
