About me
You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or struggling with things that are difficult to make sense of, whether that’s in your relationships, at work, or within yourself. I offer a warm, empathic and supportive space where you can talk openly and begin to explore what’s going on for you in a confidential setting.
I see therapy as a space to understand what has happened to you, rather than what is “wrong” with you. I will listen to your story, notice where you may feel stuck, and support you in finding your own way forward. Therapy isn’t about giving advice or quick answers, but it can help bring awareness to patterns that may be operating outside of your awareness, and offer space to reflect, process, and develop self-compassion.
My approach is primarily person-centred, meaning I focus on creating a warm, empathic and non-judgemental space where you can feel truly heard and understood. I also draw on psychodynamic ideas, which can help us explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns may be influencing how you feel and relate to others today. Together, we can begin to make sense of your experiences, helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and create meaningful change.
I support people with a range of difficulties, including anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and feeling overwhelmed or stuck. I also have an interest in working with work-related stress, life transitions, and identity.
Whether you’re going through something specific or just have a sense that something isn’t quite right, we can work together to understand it.
I hold a BSc in Psychology, which underpins my understanding of human behaviour and mental health. Alongside my training as a counsellor, I have experience working within mental health settings, supporting individuals facing a range of emotional and psychological challenges. This has deepened my appreciation of how complex and difficult life can feel at times, and the importance of having a space where you feel safe to talk. As a strong advocate for the value of talking therapies, I went on to complete further training and qualified in integrative therapeutic counselling in 2022. I bring both my professional experience and academic background into my work with clients.
I offer both online and in-person sessions. Sessions are 50 minutes long and take place weekly. I also offer a free 15-minute introductory call, giving you the opportunity to ask any questions and see whether working together feels like the right fit.
If something here resonates with you, you’re very welcome to get in touch. We can have an initial conversation and take things from there.

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.
