About me
You might be here because something in life feels heavy right now.
You may be feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety or self-doubt, struggling with complicated relationships, or finding it difficult to move forward after painful experiences or trauma. Perhaps you’ve spent years looking after everyone else and are only now realising how invisible, alone, or worn down you’ve felt. Whatever has brought you here, you don’t have to carry it on your own.
In my therapy room, it’s us against the problem. You bring your stories, experiences, questions, fears, and all the other parts that make you you. I bring a warm, containing presence, honest and thoughtful conversations, evidence-based approaches, and over a decade of professional experience working therapeutically with adults.
My work is grounded in a deep understanding of how early experiences, relationships, and the nervous system shape the way we think, feel, and relate today. Therapy with me blends in-depth exploration with practical, forward-looking steps. Together, we may look at longstanding patterns, attend to old emotional wounds, make space for feelings that have been pushed aside, and work towards boundaries and relationships that feel safer, more balanced, and more nourishing.
Alongside my private practice, I share mental health education with a community of over 220,000 people online and have been recognised with counselling awards for my contribution to the field. I believe therapy should be both a place where you feel truly seen and understood, while also being a process that leads to meaningful, lasting change.
Training, qualifications & experience
I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, which is why I am trained in multiple modalities, therefore giving me a wide variety of theories and tools I can use depending on the problem you bring.
I have experience working with a range of issues (see full list below), however my main areas of expertise are:
- Childhood and family issues
- Emotional neglect
- Relationship issues (with self and others)
- Anxiety and depression
- Stress and burnout
- Loneliness, people-pleasing and perfectionism

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.

My integrative therapy approach
I believe that no single theory or approach can treat everybody. This is why I have chosen to work with multiple approaches, each complimenting the other in the therapy process.
Psychodynamic - The foundation of my practice is built upon psychodynamic theories and methods. This involves working with the unconscious, your childhood and past, attachment styles, and more.
Cognitive-Behavioural - The next level of my approach integrates CBT. It can often help challenge negative thinking, and bridge the gap between thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Humanistic - I have implemented aspects of Transactional Analysis, Solution-Focused and Gestalt and Therapies. They can provide further invaluable insight and help bring about change.
Neuroscience - Our remarkable and mysterious brains hide a lot of secrets which can reduce stigma around mental illness and provide explanations as to why we do the things we do.
