About me
Life can feel overwhelming, and starting therapy can feel daunting, which is why I offer a calm, inclusive environment where you can think and feel without having to manage how you come across. People come to me with a wide range of experiences. Some are feeling overwhelmed, navigating life transitions such as bereavement, menopause, children leaving home, changing jobs, divorce, fertility, questioning their identity, gender, and sexuality. You may not even know what is wrong, and that's ok too. Finding someone you feel comfortable with is the first step, which is why I offer a free 20-minute call.
I'm an Integrative, Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, which basically means I draw on a range of tools, theories and ways of working to suit your needs. My practice is LGBTQIA+-affirmative and inclusive of diverse identities, backgrounds, and experiences. I work with people who are exploring indifference and identity, neurodivergence and high sensitivity.
I work in a trauma-informed way, which means we'll move at a pace that feels safe for you. I'll pay attention not only to what you want to talk about, but also to how your body and nervous system are responding throughout the process. I also believe every client has individual needs, so I will adjust and adapt to suit your needs.

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.

Further information
My experience includes collaborating in research groups on bereavement and conducting my own Master's research on the impact of sexual abuse. Working with the Samaritans has equipped me to support individuals navigating deep trauma.
Having personally benefited from therapy, I consider it one of the most valuable gifts I've given myself. The transformative and empowering nature of therapy inspired me to help others experience similar positive changes.
