About me
I am a warm and welcoming therapist, and I am genuinely curious about people's stories — what has shaped you, what you have experienced, and the person you have become along the way. I aim to create an open space where you can bring yourself as you are.
I am particularly aware of the different experiences we can bring into the therapy room — whether that is around culture, identity, race, sexuality, gender, neurodiversity or our experiences of family and belonging. It can sometimes feel daunting to know what is okay to bring into therapy and what isn't. I want to offer a space where we can explore this together. I welcome people of all identities and backgrounds, and there is no expectation that you need to leave any part of yourself at the door.
I am interested in what happens when we lose touch with parts of ourselves along the way. Perhaps we have learnt to listen to the shoulds, the coulds, the expectations of others, or the voice telling us who we ought to be. I am curious about what might be underneath these layers, and what it might mean to reconnect with something that feels more familiar, authentic and true to you.
I work with body, mind and spirit, recognising that our experiences are not held in our thoughts alone. Sometimes we can become disconnected from our bodies or lose touch with what we are feeling. I might gently invite the body into the conversation — How is your body feeling after saying that? — allowing space for what your body may be communicating.
Spirit can mean different things to different people, and I don't have a fixed definition of what it should mean. For me, it can be a place of authenticity, imperfection and rough edges — the parts of ourselves that can get trampled on by the shoulds, the coulds and the “I wish I'd done that.” Sometimes these parts of ourselves emerge through dreams, images, drawing or visualisation, and when it feels relevant, I may invite you to explore them.
Sometimes talking is enough. Sometimes we need to drop down into the body, move towards spirit, or simply find another way of expressing what words cannot quite reach.
I have the tools and a creative way of working, but I won't insist on what needs to be explored. My approach is client-led, and I will follow what you need in the moment. You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to work on. We can start wherever you are.
Training, qualifications & experience
My counselling training is accredited by BACP, and I have completed the UKCP-accredited Advanced Diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapy at Re-Vision.
My psychotherapy training has shaped my approach to working with the whole person — body, mind and soul. I draw on integrative, relational and transpersonal approaches, adapting the way I work to what feels most appropriate for each person rather than following one fixed method.
Alongside my core training, I have undertaken CPD in Ancestry Exploration and Connections and Working with Adopted Adult Clients. These areas have further developed my interest in the ways our histories, families, cultures and experiences of belonging can shape our sense of identity and who we become.
I have experience working with people who are queer or trans, neurodivergent, and those who have experienced childhood trauma and sexual assault.
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.
