About me
I'm a therapist with a background in mental health nursing, offering a safe, supportive space where you can begin to make sense of your story. I have a particular interest in childhood trauma and how early experiences shape the way we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. Often the strategies we develop to survive difficult beginnings, while once protective, can become patterns that cause pain in our present lives and relationships.
I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress and burnout, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, family difficulties, and narcissistic abuse. My work has also extended to those who have experienced the care system and the trauma and attachment wounds that can come hand in hand with this.
My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental and grounded in curiosity. Together, we can begin to uncover the roots of what you’re carrying and move toward a more connected and empowered way of being.
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 a therapist you feel comfortable with, someone you can build trust with and who offers a style of therapy that feels right for you. That’s why I offer a free 15-minute consultation, giving you the chance to ask any questions and see 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.
