About me
You may look like you are coping, but inside, you may feel exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you do not fully understand.
I am an integrative, trauma-informed counsellor supporting adults affected by complex trauma, abuse, adverse childhood experiences, chronic stress, and relational wounds. I also work with people whose emotional pain shows up in the body, including chronic pain and fibromyalgia, as well as those noticing trauma patterns within couple relationships.
Trauma does not only live in memory. It can live in the body, the nervous system, the way we relate, the way we protect ourselves, and the way we experience pain, closeness, conflict, trust, and safety.
I was awarded the title of Trauma-Informed Counsellor of the Year 2026 for Colchester, and I bring the same depth, sensitivity, and care to my work with every client.
Alongside my counselling practice, I am currently leading research into how sophrology can support person-centred counselling for people living with fibromyalgia.
Where helpful, I integrate sophrology-based body-mind techniques to support nervous system regulation, emotional processing, grounding, and reconnection with the body.
I offer in-person therapy in Nottingham and online across the UK and Europe, in English or French. For many people, trauma is easier to explore in their first language, where feelings, memories, and meaning can be expressed more naturally.
If you are carrying pain in your body, your mind, or your relationships, and you cannot fully explain why, you do not have to make sense of it alone. I would be glad to support you gently, safely, and at your own pace.
I would like to invite you to get in touch with me today. You can call me on 07593 659264 or click here to email me.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a UK Diploma in Person-Centred Therapeutic Counselling and a French Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling, alongside a Certificate in Clinical Supervision and a Certificate in Sophrology Practice.
My integrative training draws on Gestalt, NLP, Family Systems and Family Constellation work, Attachment Therapy, CBT, Inner Child healing theory, Sand Tray work, dream interpretation and Sophrology within the therapeutic process. I remain in ongoing training to continue developing my practice and learning new approaches that support my clients.
I have trained and worked extensively with childhood trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, domestic violence, anxiety disorders, stress-related disorders, work-related stress and burnout, relationship issues, and supporting people with additional needs.
I abide by the BACP Ethical Framework and am fully covered by Professional Liability Insurance.
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
Who am I?
I'm a trauma-informed counsellor and sophrology practitioner with a deep belief in the strength people carry, even when it doesn't feel that way. I know from personal experience what it means to struggle and find a way through, and that shapes how I sit with people: without judgment and with a real belief that things can shift, even from the places that feel most stuck.
My work centres on complex trauma, abuse, and adverse childhood experiences, and how these can quietly shape our bodies, our relationships, and the way we move through the world.
I was awarded Trauma-Informed Counsellor of the Year 2026, recognition I see as a reflection of the work I do alongside my clients, not separate from it.
French is my first language, and I now live and practise in Nottingham, working in-person locally and remotely with clients across the UK and Europe.
I work integratively, drawing on a range of approaches depending on what each person needs, and I'm currently leading research into how sophrology can enhance person-centred counselling in reducing emotional and physical pain for people living with fibromyalgia.
Outside of clinical language, what matters most to me is simple: that you feel met, not assessed, when we sit down together.
