About me
You may be used to putting others first, keeping the peace or feeling responsible for those around you. Over time, you may have lost sight of your own needs, struggled to set boundaries or found yourself repeating familiar difficulties in your relationships.
Perhaps life changes, such as becoming a parent, the end of a relationship or moving between countries and cultures, have left you questioning who you are and where you belong.
I have a particular interest in attachment and in how our early relationships shape our identity, self-worth and the way we relate to others. I also work with difficulties in relationships, family dynamics and fear of abandonment.
Choosing a psychotherapist is a big step, particularly when there are so many approaches to choose from. For me, what matters most is the relationship we build, rather than the method we use. I believe it is through feeling heard and understood that meaningful change can begin.
As an integrative psychotherapist, my approach is relational and collaborative, shaped around you, your experiences and your individual needs.
My approach
No two people are the same, so I do not believe therapy should be either.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on different therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs.
I see therapy as a collaborative process. I take an active interest in what you bring, listening, asking questions and helping you explore your experiences. Rather than following a set method, I adapt my approach to you and what you need from therapy.
I believe that feeling heard and understood in a relationship can help us question long-held beliefs about ourselves and open up new ways of relating to ourselves and others.
How I can help
I work with:
- Trauma, anxiety and overwhelm – when anxiety, stress or past experiences leave you feeling overwhelmed or struggling to cope.
- Relationships and connection – relationship difficulties, communication challenges or feeling disconnected from others.
- Family issues and boundaries – family dynamics, blurred boundaries, enmeshment or feeling overly responsible for others.
- Shame, self-worth and abandonment – self-doubt, low self-esteem or fears of rejection and abandonment.
- Identity and life transitions – questions of identity, belonging and direction during periods of change, including moving between countries and cultures.

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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
