About me
Choosing a therapist is a big decision, and it can be hard to know where to start. My aim is to make that first step easier: to offer a space that feels calm, consistent, and safe enough for you to speak openly, without fear of judgement.
I don't believe therapy is one-size-fits-all. While specific trainings inform how I work, I adapt my approach to what feels most helpful for you, at this point in your life. I believe meaningful change grows out of the relationship between therapist and client, so I place that relationship at the centre of the work.
Training, qualifications & experience
My training is in psychodynamic and interpersonal psychotherapy (MA in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy; Postgraduate Diploma in Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Adolescents), alongside further training in health and wellbeing coaching and eco-psychotherapy. I keep adding to this toolkit, and I usually work integratively and relationally — drawing on whichever elements best suit the person in front of me, rather than fitting the person to a model.
I've worked with children, adolescents, and adults, across private practice, the NHS, and charity settings. I've also worked in clinical research, delivering psychedelic-assisted therapy within clinical trial: an experience that continues to shape how I think about change, meaning, and healing.
I'm particularly experienced in supporting people through change and transition: questions of identity and belonging, loss, relationships, self-esteem, low mood, anxiety, and navigating bias or stigma. But every client brings their own story, and I feel comfortable meeting you wherever you're at.
Living and working across different countries and contexts has shaped my commitment to working inclusively and with cultural sensitivity - with an ongoing awareness that everyone arrives with their own background, perspective, and lived experience. I try to bring warmth, sensitivity, and curiosity to every new therapeutic relationship.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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
I'm an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within their ethical framework. Your data is kept secure, in line with my up-to-date ICO information governance certification.
I offer a free 20-minute consultation, which gives us an opportunity to meet and for you to get a sense of whether working together might feel like a good fit. There is no obligation to continue.
For the time being, I am only conducting therapy remotely via telephone or online sessions. However, I may start offering in-person sessions if the demand is there. Appointments are usually at the same time every week and last 50 minutes. Some clients may find biweekly appointments or a more flexible schedule more accessible – this is something we can discuss together.
