About me
People often arrive at therapy with a sense that something isn’t quite right, even if it’s hard to put into words. You may have learned to manage, adapt, or hold things together for a long time. Maybe you feel unheard, overwhelmed or unsure how to make sense of what’s happening.
I offer a therapeutic space that is warm, spacious and attentive, where there is time to slow things down and feel understood. I am interested not only in what you’re experiencing now, but in how your experiences, relationships and environments — past and present — have shaped how you’ve come to be with yourself and others.
My experience includes working with people affected by anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, family issues, grief and loss, life transitions and neurodiversity.
My Approach
I work integratively, drawing on humanistic and psychodynamic thinking, alongside mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Focusing, and an awareness of the mind–body connection.
By exploring the whole of you - within your relationships, family, workplaces and wider systems, as well as the emotional impact of having to adapt or mask in order to belong - you can begin to accept yourself and open-up to your limitless potential.
I believe that a strong relationship between therapist and client, based on honesty and empathy, is the key to achieving this. Working collaboratively and at your own pace, we will continually adapt the therapy to meet your moment-to-moment needs.
Working outdoors and with nature
I also offer outdoor therapy, which can provide a slower, more spacious therapeutic setting. For some people, being outside allows more room to think, feel and speak freely, particularly when sitting indoors feels intense or restrictive.
Working in nature allows the environment to become part of the therapeutic process — offering grounding, rhythm and metaphor, and supporting a slower, more embodied way of being. We might notice what helps you feel steadier, what draws your attention, or how themes in the work resonate with what we encounter outdoors. This way of working can be especially supportive for those who feel more regulated or at ease outside.
Outdoor therapy is approached with the same care, ethical consideration and collaborative attention as indoor work, and we would think together about whether it feels right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
- MA in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy - University of Roehampton
In private practice, and while working in the voluntary sector, I have developed a particular interest in working with neurodiversity; relationship difficulties, including abuse and control; self-esteem and identity-related concerns.
Alongside my professional work, I bring a grounded appreciation of how neurodiversity can shape everyday family life — including the joys, the strain, and the ongoing work of attunement, advocacy and care. This informs how I work with both neurodivergent adults and those in close relationship with them, particularly where exhaustion, guilt or self-doubt have become familiar companions.
Before training as a therapist, I worked in a range of settings including media, government and international development, including living and working in conflict-affected areas. These experiences continue to inform my understanding of pressure, responsibility and the emotional impact of working within demanding systems.
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.
