About me
If you're feeling overwhelmed with life, it can be hard to know where to turn. Therapy provides a confidential and nonjudgmental space for you to make sense of your feelings and experiences. As an integrative therapist, I can offer personally-tailored therapy which helps you to understand and process your feelings in a safe and compassionate environment.
You might have a specific goal in mind for counselling, such as regulating your emotions, processing loss, or finding tools and strategies to cope with life’s stressors. Maybe you are feeling stuck or experiencing a big change in your life. You may simply want to get to know yourself better. Whatever you are dealing with at the moment, getting some professional support can help you to find your way forward.
My specialism is supporting neurodivergent adults to get to know themselves, meet their needs, and feel empowered in a world that can often feel overwhelming or confusing. It might be that you're exploring a possible diagnosis, or need some help recovering from burnout. No neurodivergent person is the same and I will work with you towards your specific therapeutic goals.
I integrate techniques from humanistic-existential and psychoanalytic therapeutic approaches to facilitate your therapy. Working within this evidence-based framework, I am able to offer a safe and nurturing space, free from judgment, for you to explore whatever may be going on for you.
I understand that therapy needs to fit around our busy lives, and am happy to offer weekly or fortnightly sessions at times which are convenient for you.
What will our first session look like?
It is normal to feel a range of emotions before, during, and after your first therapy session. You might feel nervous, excited, uncomfortable, and relieved within the same day. All emotions are welcome in therapy.
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and go through our therapeutic contract together. We will discuss the practicalities of therapy, as well as any accommodations I can make to ensure the process is as comfortable as possible for you. I will hear your concerns and we will work together to establish some goals for your therapy. If it feels right for you, we can book another session, but you are welcome to take some time after our first session to consider whether I am the right therapist for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am qualified with a Masters in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. My compassionate, relational approach has helped me to work collaboratively with clients experiencing a range of challenges, including ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, attachment and relationship difficulties, intimate partner violence, childhood trauma, anger, grief, and chronic illness. I have worked across multiple settings, including domestic abuse services, women's health services, and schools, including implementing and managing counselling services. This broad range of experience underpins my approach to my own therapy practice.

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).
