About me
Do you feel things deeply? Often to the point of overwhelm? Do low moods take over or do you get caught in intense patterns that are hard to make sense of?
I provide a thoughtful space where you can explore your experience at your own pace, with care, curiosity, and without judgment. Together, we can seek to understand the patterns that shape your emotional world and relationships, creating space for greater stability, clarity, and a stronger sense of self.
I’m a therapist with a background in mental health nursing and the arts. I have a particular interest in childhood trauma and the lasting impact of early experiences on how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. The strategies we develop to survive difficult beginnings are often necessary and protective, but how you learned to survive may not be how you want to continue to live.
My aim is to offer a space where you can truly be yourself. And if you’re not sure who that is, we can explore that together through curiosity and compassion. Therapy can be a space to slow down and to make sense of what may feel confusing or overwhelming. Traumatic experiences can alter our sense of safety and belonging; my aim is to offer a secure and steady space where you can begin to rebuild that sense of safety, both within yourself and with others.
I work with a wide range of issues, including depression, suicidal ideation, low self-esteem, stress and burnout, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, family difficulties, attachment wounds and narcissistic abuse. I also have experience supporting those who have been in the care system, and the complex trauma and attachment wounds that can accompany this.
My practice is trauma-informed, compassionate, non-judgmental and grounded in curiosity. I offer integrative therapy, drawing on relational psychodynamic, humanistic, and existential approaches. These frameworks are centred around understanding your unique experience and adapting our work to meet your needs. I also incorporate attachment theory to explore how early relationships may continue to influence your current connections and emotional world.
I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting. It’s important to find someone you feel comfortable with and where trust can grow. I offer a free 15-minute introduction so you can ask any questions and get a sense of how we might work together.

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.
