About me
I work with both couples and individuals who are finding things difficult, or feeling disconnected, or stuck. Whether that’s within a long-term relationship, a relationship in crisis, or in your own inner world.
I support individuals with various challenges including anxiety, depression, burnout, stress, low self-esteem, ADHD, sexual trauma, work-related difficulties, and relationship issues. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward; others arrive with a clearer focus on what they’d like to change, whether that’s within a relationship or within themselves.
A core part of my work is supporting couples who are struggling to communicate, feeling emotionally distant, or caught in patterns that no longer serve them. I help couples slow things down, understand one another more clearly, and rebuild connection in a way that feels authentic and sustainable. I have lot's of experience working with couples and alongside my private practice work for The Relationship Therapy Practice.
I tailor sessions to individual needs and offer short-term or open-ended counselling. I work face-to-face in Devon and online with clients further afield, with sessions held weekly.
What to expect
Our work together will take place in a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space, where you can speak openly and at your own pace. I place strong value on the therapeutic relationship and aim to offer a space that feels supportive, collaborative, and empowering. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface and work towards meaningful change in the areas that feel stuck.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, particularly if you’re unsure where to begin. I offer a free initial call, giving you the chance to ask questions, share what’s bringing you here, and get a sense of how I work.

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.
