About me
We all need someone to tell our story to. To be witnessed in what feels true to us, and then guided to gently tune in to what is really going on.
When our hearts are open we begin to heal.
I work with clients who want to go deeper on their healing journey, or who have found that previous therapy hasn’t helped as much as they’d hoped.
I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist - which means I draw on elements from different therapeutic modalities, supporting you with a coherent, responsive, and ethically grounded practice, that honours your complexity.
Integrative counselling and psychotherapy - which I practice - is a relational and holistic approach to therapy that explores how trauma shows up as symptoms both in our mind and body. Depression, anxiety, attachment issues, addiction, intimacy and relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem - these can all be indicators of trauma that are held in our mind and by our body.
Working together, in a quiet, compassionate, judgement-free space, we’ll pay attention to the sensations and symptoms you’re experiencing. Reconnect with your inner knowing - the wisdom of the body which records and remembers what has happened to us.
Once we can see how these experiences have shaped our present - we can then look at what we can do to stabilise and support you to cope, and to thrive, in everyday life.
This is deep, beautiful work. It requires trust and openness and it’s so important you feel you can work with me. I invite you to book an introductory session so we can start a conversation about working together. You may not feel I am right for you after our session, and that’s ok. I fully support your choice in who your therapist is.
If you feel inspired, nourished, supported by our conversation, then we can arrange a first series of 50 minute sessions once a week; and from there, we would work for as long as needed.
I look forward to speaking to you, and hopefully walking with you on this beautiful and brave step forward.
I am a registered BACP member and abide by the BACP code of ethics.

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.
