About me
Life is a spectrum of struggles and challenges. Sometimes we manage them, other times they become overwhelming and support through someone like myself is required. I am an Integrative Counsellor supporting adults and young people struggling with anxiety, depression, work related burn-out, family and relationship conflict. My approach is compassionate and rooted in creating a safe space to help you find meaning and acceptance. .
My experience is in exploring how early attachments shape the ways we connect, relate and navigate emotional experiences in adulthood. I draw from psychodynamic, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy and Internal Family Systems modalities, tailoring therapy to your individual needs. Wherever you are on your journey, I’m here to walk alongside you—with curiosity, kindness, and care.
I offer Face-to-face sessions in my therapy room at home. I also offer online sessions throughout the UK.
'The first step towards change is awareness, the second step is acceptance'. Nathaniel Branden.
My own personal experience of therapy has been deeply healing and transformative, and led me into this therapeutic path professionally. I believe that healing begins when you feel safe enough to be fully yourself. In our work together, all parts of you are welcome. We will gently explore your story, your patterns, and your hopes, uncovering insight and resilience as we go.
My approach
I approach therapy from a place of warmth and compassion. My practice involves a blend of Parts work, humanistic, psychodynamic and ACT approaches, incorporating breathing and grounding techniques to build more awareness of the connection between mind and body. To support talking therapy I may also approach sessions creatively, working with art, music, sand trays, clay and other creative resources. Although this is very much led by you and what suits you best. I am passionate about the therapeutic relationship and working collaboratively with you, I believe it is essential for positive change and growth.
I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. I am also a qualified Youth and therapeutic parenting practitioner.

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.
