About me

I’m a BACP-accredited, trauma-trained therapist offering safe, supportive and creative therapy for adults, children, and young people. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) to support healing from trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and the quieter struggles that often go unseen. 


Many of the people I work with are carrying a lot: unprocessed trauma, burnout or a deep tiredness from holding it all together for too long. Others feel anxious, disconnected, or like they don’t quite fit in the world around them. You don’t need a diagnosis or distressing event to begin therapy. If something inside you is struggling, that’s reason enough.

I also have lived experience of neurodivergence, and work with many clients of all ages, who feel “different” or overwhelmed by systems not designed for them. Whether it’s autism, ADHD, sensory sensitivity, OCD or something unnamed, you won’t need to mask or explain your way through therapy here. Every part of you is welcome.

Clients often describe therapy with me as calm, collaborative, respectful and gently transformative. We move at your pace, always respecting the wisdom and limits of your system. Our work is about building trust, safety, and deep internal connection.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
