About me
I work with individuals who appear to be functioning well, but are experiencing internal strain that is harder to name.
Often this includes patterns of anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and difficulty sustaining a sense of steadiness over time.
For many, this is shaped not only by current demands, but by longer-standing relational experiences and the impact of earlier stress or trauma. These patterns can quietly shape how people relate to themselves, others, and their capacity to cope.
Over time, coping strategies that once felt effective begin to feel less reliable. Achievement alone no longer restores balance.
My work integrates psychotherapy with a focus on psychological longevity — the capacity to remain psychologically coherent while navigating complexity, responsibility, and change.
This includes attention to the impact of stress, trauma, and relationships on the nervous system and emotional life over time.
This is not only about understanding what feels difficult, but recognising what is no longer sustainable.
For many, therapy begins at a point that is less about crisis, and more about recognition.
That something needs to shift.
Training, qualifications & experience
Education sits at the centre of my approach. I am interested in how we come to understand ourselves — through the mind, the nervous system, relationships, and early experience.
Psychoeducation is woven throughout the work. Not as theory in itself, but as a way of making sense of patterns that can otherwise feel automatic, confusing, or fixed.
Clients often find it helpful that the work does not stay at the level of insight alone.
Alongside reflection and psychological understanding, we focus on how awareness translates into change — in relationships, in self-perception, and in the way you move through the demands of everyday life.
The aim is not only to understand patterns, but to develop more choice within them.
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.
