About me
I am an attachment-based psychotherapist and counsellor working with adults who are struggling with low mood, stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, and the effects of early experiences. I also work in a neurodiversity-affirming way with autistic and ADHD clients. Sessions can be held in person or online.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified counsellor and attachment-based psychotherapist with advanced training in attachment-based therapeutic work.
Alongside my private practice, I teach Level 5 counselling students in attachment theory. This role keeps my work reflective, grounded and informed by current thinking, while staying rooted in what matters most - the lived experience of real therapeutic relationships.
I have extensive experience working with neurodivergent clients, including autistic and ADHD adults. I take a neurodiversity-affirming approach and adapt therapy to suit different ways of processing, communicating and relating. Many neurodivergent clients come to therapy after years of feeling misunderstood or judged; my aim is to offer a space where your experience makes sense and does not need to be “fixed”.
I also have significant experience supporting clients with marriage, relationship and family difficulties, including communication breakdown, attachment injuries, parenting challenges, and the impact of family-of-origin dynamics.
I have experience and training for working with suicide so if you're really struggling, I can help.

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.
