About me
I work with people who are trying to making sense of their place in the world, exploring questions of meaning, purpose and identity.
This may show up with difficulties such as anxiety, depression, stress, or general feelings of unease, confusion, or dissatisfaction with your current situation.
Whether you're feeling stuck, unsure where to begin, or know exactly what you want to work on – My aim is to meet you where you are, and find a way forward that works for you.
I take a creative integrative approach to therapy - recognising the value of individual freedom, human complexity, and diversity of experience.
I've worked with individuals with attention differences (ADHD), autism, and diverse ways of being for 15 years.
Psychotherapy is a space for you to discuss what's on your mind in a non-judgemental collaborative setting. My job as a therapist is to help you explore and reflect on your situation, hearing your point of view with compassion, honesty, and respect.
This is a chance to tell your story, and make sense of what it means.
If you're considering therapy, I'm happy to offer a free 20 minute consultation - you can book this easily via my website.

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.

How I work
Humanistic
The foundation of my approach is Humanistic (A.KA. person centred). This basically means that your experience of your life is the most important perepsctive in the therapeutic process. You have the capacity to understand your world better than anyone else.
A key principle of this perspective is that everyone has the ability to move towards what's best for them, given the right conditions - the aim of therapy is to provide those conditions.
Collaborative
I work collaboratively. This means forming a shared understanding of what's going on for you - your current circumstances, what you want to change, and what's getting in the way.
My job is to help you tackle themes like these as clearly and authentically as possible, providing a safe and creative environment for growth and exploration.
I aim to meet you where you are - drawing on specific frameworks when useful, to help understand your current ways of being in the world. Integrating new understanding with your current worldview.
Integrative
Building on a collaborative foundation, we can use specific theories and frameworks as tools to help understand your current ways of being in the world, and solve particular problems.
There are many therapeutic approaches that can inspire change and insight, depending on how you want to make sense of your situation, and what questions might provide satisfactory answers.
Some of the approaches and concepts I refer to are:
- Existential - How do you experience yourself in the world?
- Narrative - What stories to you tell to make sense of your situation?
- Mindfulness - What's going on in your experience of the present moment?
- Meaningful engagement - How do you engage with your life and your endeavours? When do you feel worthwhile?
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - How do your thoughts, emotions, and actions interact with one and other?
