About me
Which therapist do I choose?
I hear from people all the time how choosing who to reach out to feels like a huge hurdle in itself. It can be intense to scroll through so many profiles, they all look nice enough, are all qualified, but who do I choose? If you are acknowledging you need a bit of extra support right now, even if prioritising yourself might feel hard, you know something isn't right. Know that this is a big step, the next step brings you one step closer to the change you are looking for.
So I hope this helps, the people I work with often say things like....
I feel stuck what can I do? You are not alone, feeling like you are stuck, trapped or unhappy in your life is common. You may feel stuck with hard feelings, thoughts that won't let up or maybe you behave in ways that are starting to feel old or tiring. There can be so many reasons from struggles in relationships to past events that can cause you to feel stuck. I offer a space to unpick how you are feeling, identify some of the reasons why and begin to find pathways to change. I will help you to feel safe to begin to see the stuckness clearly (and maybe even make friends with it!) so you can see what comes once the stuckness begins to move.
I look after everyone else, but I feel so alone - Maybe your needs are usually quite low down the list; partners, children, friends, work, might come before you. Maybe this is how it's always been or maybe something is happening that has placed you in this position. There are often imbalances in relationships, we all have needs, sometimes we don't even know what they are! In our session we can explore what is happening in your relationships, discover your needs and find healthy ways of getting them met.
I lost someone I love and am struggling to cope - Grief and loss are part of life. Someone in your life may have died, a relationship may have ended and there are so many other ways we experience loss in life. We all grieve in different ways so we can often find ourselves feeling very alone with our feelings. All of us will go through grief, what I see clearly is that when we feel supported in our grief we can find growth even in the most painful of places.
I offer more than listening....
I am here to support you with whatever you bring; from conflict to trauma and life transitions to relationships. I work with a broad range of people trying to live better lives. I will do more than smile and nod. I will offer care and curiosity, I will ask questions to help you to find depth of understanding and clarity in the places you want to see. I will be honest and compassionate and be by your side for this chapter of your journey that you may just need someone to be there for you.
I bring 20 years of experience to my practice of supporting people. I am a psychotherapist, breathwork facilitator, massage therapist and work within psychedelic research. The body and mind are not separate and my knowledge of both gets combined in my sessions.
We can schedule a free call to have a chat, talk about your hopes and needs and see how working together might look.
We are part of the world and that can also be tough..
I feel it's important to also just zoom out for a moment. Hundreds of millions of people are suffering from anxiety, depression and trauma. Each individual in these staggering numbers has a unique way they experience the world. For many medication and many therapies aren't improving quality of life. Our screen time has gone up and our sense of community gone down. We are overloaded with images of war and destruction of the planet. The world we live in strives for perfection and without even knowing it, we might start feeling we are 'not good enough'. We all experience many emotions, including love and joy AND grief and rage, life has ups and downs. If given a space to be expressed or experienced safely those feelings can then be integrated and have less control of who we are so we can live our lives more fully.
Thanks for reading and I wish you all the best with your journey through 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.
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.
