About me
Life can feel overwhelming at times, or as though you’re moving through it carrying something that’s hard to name. You might be experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, grief, infertility, stress at work, or a sense of feeling disconnected from yourself or others. Some people come to therapy because of a specific difficulty, while others notice a feeling that something isn’t quite right, or that they’ve become stuck in patterns that are hard to shift.
Often, the ways we struggle can begin to make more sense when we understand the context they developed. This can be done through understanding the relationships we’ve had, the experiences we’ve lived through, and the ways we’ve learned to cope along the way. What can feel confusing or frustrating today has often come from something that once helped us manage, protect ourselves, or get through.
In therapy, we can begin to slow things down and gently turn towards these experiences with curiosity rather than judgement. This might include noticing emotional patterns, inner conflicts, or different parts of yourself that seem to pull in opposite directions. Rather than trying to fix or remove these experiences, we can begin to understand them and explore what it might be like to relate to them differently. Often, it is through being met and understood in this way that something begins to soften or shift.
Therapy is also a relationship, and it is within this relationship that much of the work can happen. The way you experience yourself with another person and the feelings that can emerge whilst in a relationship can offer important insight into how you relate to others and to yourself. Over time, this shared space can become somewhere you might experience something different: steadier, more open, and less alone with what you are carrying.
I offer a calm, consistent, and compassionate space where you don't need to have the right words or a clear sense of what you need before beginning. We can find that together, at your own pace.
I work with clients on a weekly basis, as regularity helps create a reliable and grounded space for therapy to unfold.
I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation so we can talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, answer any questions, and see whether working together feels like the right fit.

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.
