About me
If you find circling worries occupying your thoughts, making it difficult to focus and draining your time and energy, get in touch because it doesn't need to be this way. Are you having trouble falling asleep due to anxious thoughts and feeling restless? Worriers tend to struggle with making decisions, seek reassurance or experience panic attacks. Therapy can support you to feel calmer and more confident.
We all experience worry sometimes, and it can help us come up with solutions. But when worry becomes too much and isn't helpful anymore, therapy can support you in taking control and making worry work for you!
- I help you develop strategies to reduce your "what if’s…" allowing you to clear your mind and make decisions with greater ease and clarity.
- I support you in reducing emotional exhaustion, helping you have that extra time for activities you enjoy or have been missing out on and become more spontaneous.
- Therapy teaches you relaxation methods to release tension in your shoulders, stop your stomach churning, promoting a sense of calm and relief. We can tackle panic attacks if that’s relevant to you.
- I can help you feel safer, more confident to handle difficult situations and stop seeking reassurance.

With full training in two very different styles of therapy, I have the flexibility to tailor my approach to suit your individual needs. CBT can be solution focused for those who want to 'get on with it' in a business like style. Counselling is slower paced, non-directive and often more deep work. I always offer a safe and non judgemental space in a beautiful setting to work on yourself to get to those goals.
Being from a long line of worriers, I've had over three years of personal therapy myself, we're all a work in progress after all.
Drawing from over 10 years of experience working in sexual abuse centres, hospices, the NHS, and with Neurodivergent students at top London Universities like UCL, LSE and Greenwich Uni I can help calm your body and mind bringing back feelings of peace and joy. I've helped many clients control their worrying thoughts, and I'm here to support you too.
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
Our sessions can take place either online or face to face in Fetcham Surrey; whichever you find most convenient and comfortable. My approach is based on an open dialogue between the two of us; giving you space to ‘offload’ and make sense of your difficulties. I could offer practical strategies which are easy to practice and imbed in your day-to-day life. Or perhaps a non-judgemental and confidential space where you are really heard and feel totally understood is more relevant. We can decide together.
Previous clients have described me as calming to be around, providing ample space for them to express themselves and feel heard. They say I make a significant difference in how they navigate their own thoughts and emotions, attributing it to a combination of being truly listened to and receiving practical solutions.
