About me
As a psychodynamic counsellor, I aim to create a safe therapeutic space where we can explore your life, and things that might be troubling you, together. This might include aspects of your identity, your relationships with others, or anxiety and low mood that you might be struggling with. My approach is rooted in curiosity, working with you collaboratively to explore these themes and how they might evolve over time at a pace that is right for you.
The psychodynamic approach emphasises the importance of early life experiences and how these shape us as individuals. As well as exploring material from your every day life, we might work with memories or dreams and unconscious beliefs and motivations. The therapeutic relationship that exists between us as therapist and client is also important, offering a framework for considering how you might relate to others in your life.
I specialise in working with climate distress, including anxiety and grief, as well as working with young adults.I also integrate a somatic approach, seeking to understand the mind-body connection and the psychological aspect of pain and illness. Though our work will focus on you as an individual, my practice accounts for the wider environmental, social, cultural and political context in which we live.
In essence, we'll seek to understand the cause of any issues you face, and what alternative ways of being might exist. There isn’t a right or wrong answer. Instead, we have the opportunity to think creatively together about how you might overcome challenges in your life, so that you can feel more empowered in your life.

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.
