About me
I work with individual adults aged 25+ who may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, relationships, attachment, stress, loneliness, life transitions, and all types of grief and loss. I offer a warm supportive space where you can explore what you are feeling, make sense of your experiences and identify what may be keeping you stuck.
I believe therapy should help you move forward, as well as provide a space to talk and be heard. My approach is deeply empathetic, while also offering gentle challenge and thoughtful feedback when this may support your growth. Together, we can explore what you are feeling, understand yourself more deeply, and begin to recognise unconscious patterns that may be holding you back.
Alongside talking, I may sometimes use practical or experiential exercises to help you explore difficult feelings, inner conflicts, and different ways of relating to yourself and others. This can create space to express emotions such as anger, hurt and grief that can be difficult to access though talking alone. For some people, being able to fully express and process emotions in this way can release some of the tension and stress held in the body, leaving them feeling lighter and more at ease. These exercises are optional and are always done collaboratively and at a pace that feels right for you. My aim is to help you feel more comfortable and confident in yourself, develop greater self understanding and make meaningful, lasting changes in your life.
I'm a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor with twelve years' experience in private practice. Finding the right therapist is important, so I offer a free fifteen minute discovery call, where we can talk about what you're looking for, answer any questions you may have, and see whether we feel like a good fit to work together.

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.
