About me
Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship struggles, or work stress? Does Neurodiversity (ADHD ,ASD, AuDHD, Dyslexia) make these challenges harder to manage? You don’t have to face this alone. We are all relational people.People need people. When suffering everyone needs support.
With over 15 years of experience, I’ve supported individuals and caregivers through times when life feels unmanageable—when pain leads to compulsive behaviours, addiction, or disconnection from what matters most.
We are all relational beings. Our lives are shaped by connections—with ourselves, with others (at home or work), and with our past, present, and future experiences.
While relationships can be deeply rewarding, they can also be sources of hurt—especially during life’s toughest moments: betrayal, separation, job loss, or grief. When wounded, we or those close to us may withdraw or turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms such as: alcohol, drugs , pornography, exercise, social media or gaming.
Your relationship with yourself is the foundation for all others.
If you’re ready to explore a healthier path forward, I offer a compassionate space to:
- Understand how past experiences influence your current relationships
- Develop practical tools for emotional and interpersonal challenges
- Heal from wounds that keep you stuck
- Build connections that feel authentic and nourishing
How I Work
As an integrative psychotherapist and relationship well-being coach, I create a safe, confidential environment where you can:
- Be truly heard and understood
- Explore difficult emotions without judgment
- Gain insight into patterns that no longer serve you
- Practice new ways of relating—to yourself and others
Our sessions will move at your pace, blending approaches tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and the freedom to make choices that align with your values.
Taking the Next Step
The decision to begin therapy is significant. In our first meeting, we’ll discuss:
- What brings you here
- Your hopes for our work together
- Any questions you have
- Practical details (scheduling, fees, etc.)
This is also a chance to see if we’re a good fit—because trust and comfort are essential to this process.
You deserve support.Whether online, by phone, or in person, I’m here to help you find your way forward. Your most important relationship is with yourself . It sets the tone for every relationship you have.Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken,it’s about rediscovering what’s already whole within you.
When you’re ready to take that first step toward a lighter tomorrow, I’ll be here with a listening ear, practical guidance, and unwavering belief in your ability to grow. You don’t have to do this alone.

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and the Addiction Professionals (AP) . I adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework and the AP Code of Practice. I receive regular supervision .
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.
