About me
Does it feel as though your adult life hasn't matched the promise of your earlier years, whether that promise came from early achievement, recognition, or a strong sense of who you were going to become?
You might find yourself lying awake at night, your mind turning over old conversations or worrying about what's ahead. For some, the difficulty is closer to home: a relationship with a partner, sibling or parent that has become more painful than nourishing. For others it's work or creative ambitions kept on hold, afraid of how they'll be judged, or a persistent sense of not knowing what comes next.
I'm a UKCP-registered and BACP-accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor working with adults and couples. Over the years I've worked with a wide range of concerns: trauma and abuse, depression, grief and loss, relationship breakdown, low self-esteem, and the aftermath of illness or difficult habits. I also offer support around questions of gender and sexuality, and, with additional training in psychosexual therapy, around sexual and intimacy concerns.
Together, we can explore how you experience your life, the patterns you may feel caught in, and the possibilities for change. Where it helps, we also draw on art, film, music and culture to get closer to what you're actually experiencing.
I offer a free 20-minute online initial meeting. It’s a chance to tell me briefly what has brought you to therapy, ask any questions you have, and get a sense of whether working together might be useful.
My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, kink-aware and CNM (consensual non-monogamy) aware.
I’m not an emergency service. If you’re in immediate danger or at risk of harm, contact 999 / A&E, or NHS 111.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.

Additional information
I offer a free 20-minute online initial meeting. It’s a chance to tell me briefly what has brought you to therapy, ask any questions you have, and get a sense of whether working together might be useful.
Following sessions are usually scheduled for the same time every week and are paid for in advance of the session. I can offer some flexibility if you have an irregular work pattern. In the early stages of therapy, regular weekly sessions offer structure and focus within a safe and ethical framework of good practice. Over time we can discuss alternative approaches such as fortnightly sessions or sessions as and when required.
