About me
There are times when something in life no longer works as it once did — in how you relate to others, how you respond emotionally, or how you make sense of yourself. You may already have some insight into this, yet find that insight alone doesn’t bring change.
Therapy offers a space to stay with this more carefully. Rather than trying to fix or override it, we begin by understanding how these patterns have formed, how they continue to shape your relationships, and what they might be expressing.
I work with people, individually and in relationships, who want to understand why they feel stuck and want to explore the relational patterns shaping their experiences. Together we explore how the past continues to influence the present, and how greater awareness can open possibilities for deeper, longer-lasting change.
Our Work Together
I offer a thoughtful and attentive space to explore your experiences in depth. I listen carefully and ask questions that help uncover recurring themes and patterns.
Part of our work also involves paying attention to what happens within the therapeutic relationship. The way we relate to one another in therapy often reveals important insights into the relational patterns experienced elsewhere in life.
When working with couples, the focus shifts more directly to the relationship itself. We become curious about what each person contributes to the relational dynamic, while paying attention to patterns of communication, intimacy and conflict.
Relationship therapy is available to all consensual relationship structures, including long-term partnerships, open relationships, throuples and other forms of relationship diversity. I also work with couples who are seeking to separate thoughtfully and respectfully.
About Me
I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor, meaning my professional practice, experience and ongoing professional development have been assessed by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Alongside my private practice, I supervise therapists reflecting on their clinical work. I also provide workplace supervision within the third sector, supporting mental health professionals to reflect on their practice, personal wellbeing and professional development in demanding roles.
My Approach
My work is relational and exploratory rather than solution-focused. While it can be tempting to think of personal difficulties as problems to be fixed, therapy allows space to understand the deeper emotional and relational patterns that shape our lives.
For this reason, I usually work longer-term with clients (six months or more), meeting weekly so the work can develop at a steady and meaningful pace. Relationship therapy tends to be more structured and time-limited, focusing on helping partners understand, name and work through difficulties in their relationship.
Experience and Specialisms
I have worked with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, loneliness, bereavement, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, religious trauma and spiritual abuse.
My academic background includes a degree in Theology and Counselling, which informs my understanding of how people make meaning in their lives. I also hold a Diploma in Integrative Psychosexual Therapy, which informs my work with sexual and relational difficulties, including gender, sexual and relationship diversity (GSRD).
Let’s Connect
Beginning therapy and deciding which therapist to work with is a thoughtful and important decision. If you are wondering whether we might work well together, I offer a complimentary 30-minute Zoom call or in-person meeting. This gives us an opportunity to discuss what you are seeking from therapy and whether my approach feels like the right fit.
If we decide to work together, we can arrange an initial session and begin exploring what you hope to gain from therapy.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
