About me

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward?

I believe therapy should feel like a safe and open conversation where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Together, we make sense of what feels overwhelming or stuck, and work toward a way of living that feels more aligned and meaningful to you. I have extensive experience supporting individuals facing anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, grief, work-related stress, and infertility.

Even with supportive friends and family, it can be difficult to navigate certain challenges without adding stress to your relationships. I listen carefully and share observations to shift perception, and you decide what feels helpful to you.

For couples:
I work with a wide range of relationship difficulties: intimacy, life challenges, including grief, infertility, separation, and communication barriers.

I also offer a structured four-hour relationship intensive designed for couples who want a focused, deep dive into their challenges.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
