About me
I am a BACP‑accredited Psychotherapist (MBACP) with a BSc (Hons) in Reflective Therapeutic Practice. I offer counselling that is relational, trauma‑informed and neurodiversity‑affirming, with a particular care for people who have been told they are “too much”, “too sensitive” or “too complicated”.
My work is grounded in reflective practice. That means I pay close attention to what happens between us in the room your feelings, my responses, and the patterns that quietly repeat in your life. I don’t see you as a set of symptoms to fix, but as a person with a story, nervous system and context that all matter.
I have a strong interest in attachment, trauma and the impact of long‑term stress and shame on how we relate to ourselves and others. I’m attentive to how power, culture, neurodivergence, health, class and identity shape our experiences of safety and belonging. Together, we can notice what has been survived, what has been carried alone, and what might be possible when it doesn’t have to be carried in the same way.
My own lived experience informs my work, but it doesn’t take centre stage. It sits quietly in the background, helping me to be particularly sensitive to overwhelm, shame, burnout and the effort it can take to ask for help. I hold this within clear ethical boundaries, regular supervision and ongoing training, so that the focus remains on you.
Clients often describe me as warm, steady and real. I won’t rush you, and I won’t push you into places you’re not ready to go. Instead, we’ll move at a pace that feels manageable, building enough safety between us that difficult feelings, memories or parts of you that have felt “too much” can begin to be met with more understanding and less judgement.
If you recognise yourself in any of this - feeling intense, exhausted, masked, stuck in old patterns, or unsure where you belong - there is room for all of that here.

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.
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.

Further information
I currently works in the NHS within a primary care personality disorder pathway, providing expert training and consultation to a range of professionals in relation to supporting people who experience complex emotional needs. My approach makes learning practical, human, and rooted in real-life experience.
