About me
Anxiety, Stress, Reactive, Overwhelmed, Panic, Dissociation, Stuckness, Attachment, Trauma CPTSD, Bereavement, Relationship Issues.
Hello, I am a highly experienced, relational, Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor, providing counselling support in many areas. However, my niche experience is working with Anxiety, Stress management, Attachment and Trauma, Relationship/Dating issues and Bereavement. I aim to help you uncover your inner strength, achieve healing, resolve & grow. See my website for more info@https://achievewellbeingtherapy.co.uk.
I bring a unique perspective informed by my roles as a wife, mother, adoptive parent & former family and children's solicitor. Not forgetting 20+ yrs as a specialist foster carer re-parenting children with attachment and trauma. This rich blend of personal and professional experience allows me to offer insightful, empathic, tailored therapy.
My relational approach prioritizes the therapeutic alliance, as evidentially it is proven a strong connection between therapist and client is key to successful outcomes.
Therapy is a reflective process and I believe the answer is always hidden within you. Openness and honesty are vital in working together. I aim to create a compassionate, non-judgemental, safe, space where you can feel at ease to share your story and what has happened to you.
I draw primarily from Person-Centered therapy while incorporating other techniques based on your needs. These include:
-Psychodynamic Therapy and Attachment-Focused Approaches
-Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), reframe narrative
-Transactional Analysis (e.g., script and PAC work)
-Human Givens
-Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts and inner-wounded child work
-Solution-Focused Therapy
-Somatic healing, grounding techniques, breathwork, and tapping
My qualifications include LLB (Hons), Pg Dip LPC, Counselling Cert, and Pg Dip Counselling and Psychotherapy. As a BACP member, I adhere to the highest standards of ethics and professional care. I am fully insured, GDPR compliant and enhanced DBS. I am insured via Balens Professional Indemnity Insurers until April 2027.
If you're feeling anxiety, low self-esteem, catastrophising, panic attacks, procrastinating or symptoms impacting you and your relationships daily, then I am here to support you.

Membership organisations
- BACP registered member.
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.
