About me
Hello! I'm here to tell you that things can be better than this - there is a reason you're feeling the way you do, and I can help you understand why and identify what needs to change. With over eight years of experience working as a counsellor and psychotherapist, I specialise in helping people heal from past trauma, relationships and low self-esteem that commonly lead to feelings of anxiety and depression.
Qualified to masters level (level 7), I'm fully accredited, meeting the BACP’s 'higher standard as a competent, ethical and independent practitioner', and work as a Band 7 Senior Counsellor for the NHS. I work integratively, with a combination of Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Gestalt and Polyvagal theories.
I’ll help you identify unconscious patterns and beliefs that keep you feeling this way and encourage you to make contact with emotion to help you process and make positive change. We will look towards your past to understand what has influenced you to feel the way you do. My practice utilises techniques to regulate the nervous system, helping us manage intense or distressing feelings that may be holding you back.
The therapy I deliver helps tackle some of the pressures that we can experience in our society today; the apparent disparity between how we are and how we think we should be, the struggle to find meaning, the feeling of never being 'good enough'. I'd like to help you feel more ‘you’, to guide you towards a more authentic way of living.
Whether the problem feels chaotic, immediate, and taking up all your space, or if it's that sense of losing your mojo and feeling 'not quite right', sessions with me can help bring order, clarity and act as an anchor to hold on to when delving deeper. Please check out my website for further information on the way I deliver therapy.

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.
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.

Couples
I also work with couples who are in a committed relationship, where one or both partners experience low mood, anxiety, or other kinds of distress, and recognise that the quality of the relationship is impacted. Emotional difficulties can naturally affect how satisfied we feel with our partners and vice versa. I offer a space to work with these relational dynamics to help both partners feel happier and more satisfied both as individuals and within the relationship. This type of therapy involves thinking about how each partner’s histories become woven into the current relationship, exploring communication styles, conflict patterns and intimacy.
My fees for couples sessions are £120 per session
