About me
I offer a space where you can fully be yourself—empathetic, and free from judgment. I’ll support you in processing painful experiences, helping you to understand your emotions, exploring both what’s happening now and what has shaped you in the past.
Three therapeutic approaches guide my work, each tailored to your unique needs and circumstances:
- Existential psychotherapy helps you navigate life's deepest questions — who you are, what truly matters, and what direction to take when everything feels uncertain. It provides a supportive framework to transform an existential crisis into a meaningful catalyst for personal growth and self-discovery.
- EMDR (Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy designed for those carrying the weight of trauma. Whether you've experienced a single distressing event or a lifetime of difficult experiences, EMDR helps your brain process what got stuck — so painful memories lose their grip, and you can begin to feel safe again. No need to relive every detail. Healing happens gently, at your own pace.
- ANXIETY THERAPY: I am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional. If anxiety is something you’re struggling with, our sessions will centre around that experience, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and existential approaches to support your journey toward greater clarity and resilience.

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.
