About me
Are you feeling overwhelmed, experiencing persistent negative emotions or anxiety? Have you noticed changes in your sleep or appetite, or found yourself withdrawing from others? These are just some of the signs that life may be feeling difficult to manage alone. Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting, but I know from both professional and personal experience that seeking support can be life-changing. I am an integrative therapist specialising in women recovering from domestic abuse/coercive control, neurodivergent adults and men navigating life transitions, loss and emotional wellbeing.
As an Integrative Therapist, I offer a warm, authentic, and compassionate approach within a confidential and non-judgemental space. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of meaningful change, and I aim to create an environment where you feel safe, heard, and accepted for who you are. Building trust takes time, and I understand the courage it can take to open up, particularly if this is your first experience of therapy.
I recognise that every person's experiences are unique, which is why I draw upon a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor our work to your individual needs. There may be times when you simply need someone to listen without judgement, and other times when we can gently explore past experiences and relationships to understand how they may be influencing your present life. Together, we can work towards developing greater self-awareness, resilience, and healthier ways of coping.
I work with adults and young people experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, separation and divorce, domestic abuse, panic disorders, and parenting-related concerns. I also have personal and therapeutic experience supporting neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and autism, and individuals struggling with disordered eating and self-harm.
My hope is that therapy provides you with a space where you can be your authentic self, gain a deeper understanding of your experiences, and feel empowered to make the changes that matter to you. If you would like to explore whether we might be a good fit, I offer a free initial consultation and would be happy to hear from you.

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.
