About me
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, experiencing difficult emotions, or finding life difficult to manage? Perhaps you’ve noticed changes in your sleep, appetite or relationships. Whatever has brought you here, taking the first step towards therapy can feel overwhelming at first, however it could also be the start of a more fulfilling life.
My own experience of therapy was life-changing and ultimately inspired me to become a therapist. I understand how daunting it can feel to open up to someone for the first time, but also how powerful it can feel to be genuinely heard and understood. I aim to create a confidential, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can be yourself and explore what is happening for you at your own pace.
I’m an integrative therapist working 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 and anxiety and parenting-related concerns. I also have personal and therapeutic experience supporting neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and autism, as well as individuals experiencing disordered eating and self-harm.
As an integrative therapist, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and tailor our work to your individual needs. Sometimes you may simply need space to talk and feel listened to; at other times, we may explore past experiences and relationships to understand how they may be influencing your present life. Together, we can develop greater self-awareness, resilience and healthier ways of coping.
My hope is that therapy gives you the opportunity to better understand yourself, explore what matters to you and make meaningful changes. If you’d like to explore whether we might be a good fit, I offer a free initial consultation and welcome you to get in touch.

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.
