About me
I work with people who feel that their adult life has not matched the promise of their earlier years — whether that promise came from exceptional achievement, early recognition, or simply a strong sense of who they were going to become. The work is not about recovering what was lost, but about finding what is genuinely available now.
Maybe you're lying awake at night, anxious and wired, replaying conversations or catastrophising about the future. Or you feel stuck in a relationship that brings more pain than joy. Perhaps you're dreaming about writing that book or creating art, but keep putting it off — worried about rejection or criticism. Or maybe you're struggling to find your place in the world and wondering what comes next.
I'm a UKCP- and BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor offering existential-analytic therapy for adults, and I also work with couples and psychosexual concerns. My style is relational, direct, and depth-oriented: we pay attention to what's happening between us in the room, how your past shows up in the present, and what your symptoms might be trying to do for you.
In our work together we might notice repeating patterns in relationships — conflict, distance, people-pleasing, shutdown, avoidance — or work with anxiety, low mood, self-criticism, or the after-effects of trauma. We might explore identity, sexuality, desire, and intimacy, or make space for meaning, choice, and creativity without forcing positive thinking.
I draw from psychotherapy, psychoanalytic thinking, and philosophy, and I make use of art, film, music, and culture when they help us get closer to your experience. Therapy doesn't need to be clinical and sterile to be serious.
If you're considering therapy, you're welcome to book an initial meeting so you can get a sense of how I work and whether it feels like a good fit.
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
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.
