About me
I offer compassionate-online CBT and counselling for adults and young people across the UK who are experiencing anxiety, low mood, trauma-related difficulties, emotional overwhelm, and relationship challenges.
You may be feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure why certain experiences continue to affect how you feel, your relationships, or your sense of safety. I offer a calm, supportive and non-judgemental space where we can make sense of what is happening and explore ways to help you feel more settled, confident and in control.
My specialist area is trauma and the impact it can have on emotional wellbeing and relationships. I have experience supporting people affected by domestic abuse, sexual abuse, unsafe or difficult relationships, forced displacement, and asylum-related trauma. I also work with neurodiverse clients, recognising that emotional regulation, relationships and coping strategies can look different for each person.
Alongside my private practice, I am a clinical supervisor and lecturer in counselling and CBT. I have over five years’ experience working in charity and community settings supporting adults and young people affected by trauma, including individual and group-based work focused on emotional coping skills and self-compassion.
My approach combines CBT with relational-therapy. This means we can work with current challenges, such as anxiety, low mood and emotional overwhelm, while also exploring how past experiences may have shaped the ways you respond to yourself and others.
Therapy is collaborative and paced around what feels manageable for you. Together, we can explore your experiences, develop a clearer understanding of patterns, and build practical ways to support greater emotional stability and wellbeing.
If you would like to find out whether we might work well together, I offer a free initial 20-minute consultation where we can discuss what you are looking for and how I may be able to support 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.

Further information
I aim to balance structure with flexibility, drawing on coping skills where helpful while also allowing space for reflection, emotional processing, and relational understanding. Some sessions may feel more focused and practical, while others may be more exploratory, depending on what feels most useful for you during each session. This balance is informed by each individual client, and we will work collaboratively to shape the direction and focus of sessions in response to what feels most important for you.
