About me
Life can look successful on the outside while feeling far more complicated on the inside. You might be managing responsibilities, relationships, or expectations with apparent ease, yet still carrying stress, doubt, or patterns that keep repeating no matter how hard you try to move past them. Many people reach a moment where they recognise that their usual ways of coping are no longer enough — and that something deeper needs attention.
If you’re used to being the one who holds everything together, it can feel unfamiliar to seek support. But it’s often the most capable people who benefit most from having a protected space where they don’t need to perform, manage, or stay composed. Reaching out isn’t a sign of failing — it’s an intentional step toward clarity, self-respect, and long-term change.
In our sessions, you’ll find a calm and confidential space where you can speak openly about what’s happening beneath the surface. My approach is steady, thoughtful, and focused. Together we’ll explore the emotional patterns, internal pressures, and relational dynamics that shape your experience — including the parts that are difficult to name or easily overlooked.
I work with people who want more than quick fixes. You may be seeking greater emotional balance, a clearer sense of yourself, or a shift away from cycles that drain your energy or undermine your confidence. Therapy can help you reconnect with your own steadiness, make decisions with more certainty, and navigate challenges with a stronger internal foundation.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply aware that something needs to change, you don’t need to have everything worked out before starting. An initial conversation is a chance to slow down, reflect, and see whether this is the right fit for you.
If you’d like to talk or arrange a consultation, I invite you to get in touch. This first step can be the beginning of real, sustainable change.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Master of Science (MSc) degree in Psychodynamic Counselling & Psychotherapy, and I am experienced in working with individuals to address the challenges they face.
Alongside private practice, I currently lecture at two institution's, one a counselling MSc, the other an integrative counselling training Diploma. Previously, I have worked at Centre70, a community based charity for several years, and have been accustomed to working with Anxiety, Depression, HIV diagnosis, Identity issues, Individual Relationship difficulties, Rape, Self-esteem and other life changing events and transitions.
The icon below my profile here means I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and work within their guidelines.
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.
