About me
Together, we can work with whatever challenges you're facing.
As an integrative counselling psychotherapist, I work with Individuals and Couples. I offer a person-centred approach to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and Attachment (relationships). I am available for online appointments but I prefer in-person sessions at Solstice Park.
We might work to alleviate distress and detangle some of life's challenges: Anxiety, Work stress, Depression, low mood, Confidence, low self esteem, lack of motivation, Anger, avoidance, and Relationship issues.
With lived experience of neurodiversity - ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia - we might gently explore how you can move ahead, feeling seen and being heard in the safe space of the therapeutic relationship.

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Neurodiversity
As neuro-inclusive practice, I am gently curious about the ways we move through the world with traits & tendencies aligned to ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia & Dyspraxia diagnoses. We might have self-limiting beliefs or unhelpful behaviours to address within ourselves, to learn coping strategies in a noisy world that can feel unkind.
Relationships, trouble with other people
Human interactions can be complicated and I'm interested in some of the ways we can be better with ourselves and for others, towards healthier relationships over time, to move forward with more kindness.

The therapeutic alliance we build is what matters most. Having the time to talk and be heard in a safe space, you can trust that sessions are non-judgemental, discrete, and completely confidential.
