About me
I believe there are many ways to understand ourselves and no single approach can make sense of every person or every experience.
We are shaped by what happens to us, but also by our relationships, our bodies, the environments we've lived in and how we've learned to navigate the world. For me, therapy isn't about 'fixing' anything. It's about becoming curious about ourselves, making connections, and understanding why we might think, feel and respond in the ways that we do.
I bring my training, experience and curiosity. You bring your knowledge of yourself and your experience. Together, we can explore and make sense of your world.
My work is integrative and relational, informed by over twenty years of working with individuals affected by domestic abuse, sexual violence, and trauma. I hold a BA (Hons) in Counselling and an MA in Psychotherapy Studies with Distinction, and I am a registered member of the BACP.
Alongside traditional talking therapy, I'm interested in what our bodies and nervous systems can tell us, and my practice is informed by somatic, creative and nature-based approaches. I'm also a qualified somatic trauma therapist and breathwork facilitator, and I am currently training in therapeutic sound.
I am a neuroaffirming therapist and have additional training in working with neurodivergent clients. My practice is inclusive and non-pathologising and I am an LGBTQ+ ally.

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.

Further information
I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation before booking your first session. This gives you an opportunity to tell me a little about what brings you to therapy, ask any questions about me or how I work, and get a sense of whether I might be the right therapist for you.
