About me
Providing a compassionate space for growth, healing, and transformation.
I’m here to support you on your journey of self-discovery. Together, it may be that we explore your personal history to better understand the values, beliefs, and behaviours that influence your present-day experiences, look at current life stressors, explore relationships, give space to your hopes and dreams or provide space for you to be held in times of grief.
Our work will include identifying strategies to help you navigate life’s challenges, create meaningful change, and reconnect with your authentic self.
Most importantly, this is a space where all emotions are welcome — including the difficult or uncomfortable ones. Allowing space for these feelings is an essential part of the healing process.
When helpful, we can integrate a mind–body approach into our sessions. This may include mindfulness, grounding techniques, somatic awareness, and nervous system regulation. These practices can support emotional processing, helping difficult feelings rise, move through, and eventually settle — often in transformative ways.
There’s space here for truth, transformation and even laughter.

I use a range of therapeutic approaches, which I call upon to suit your needs in the moment. These include Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, CBT and Person Centred.
I also offer Pain Reprocessing Therapy (for Chronic Pain and Conditions). This is a powerful, innovative therapy that rewires the brain’s pain response, helping you overcome chronic pain and symptoms. PRT targets the emotional and psychological triggers of pain and symptoms, allowing you to break the cycle of discomfort and return to living a vibrant, active life. Within this system, I have worked with people experiencing chronic pain or illness, including long covid.

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.
