About me
Transitioning into a new phase of life and finding yourself anxious, exposed or unsure?
Maybe you're considering a change of career or lifestyle, needing support on your spiritual path, or feeling desperate for a change of mind?
Perhaps you're going through job or course changes, relationship changes, are post-baby or entering the second half of life and want to do it intentionally?
Possibly its time to address some burdens you've been carrying and give yourself a chance at peace?
This is a space to meet the reality of your life with someone who is sensitive, warm and spiritually open. A place to stop running from yourself, numbing your feelings or losing yourself in intrusive thoughts and a chance to find alignment and trust in yourself.
I accompany people through the changes in their life. These changes may have been unchosen and left you reeling with shock, grief or denial. Or they might be intentional yet prompt anxiety, soul searching, or familiar feelings of not being good enough. Change can be lonely and leave us feeling disoriented and cut off from people we once felt connected to as we re-work-out who we are.
I aim to be a therapeutic friend to help you navigate your transitions, understand your self and the life you want, and support you as you try out new roles and relationships. My work is a mixture of psychotherapy, mentoring and spiritually informed practice. I bring a history of deep therapeutic and philosophical study, lifelong spiritual enquiry, and experience working with older students, adults and neurodivergent individuals.
What is true is already so. Opening up about it doesn't make it worse. Not opening up about it doesn't make it go away... People can stand what is true because they are already enduring it' Eugene Gendlin

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.
