About me
I offer Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy -
As a fully qualified and accredited Integrative Therapist, I am here for you.
I believe therapy can help people live fulfilling and meaningful lives; to make sense of themselves and the world around them.
We are all unique, and as an Integrative Therapist, I draw on different approaches to work with my clients in a bespoke way.
We would work together in a compassionate and curious way to explore your emotions, understand and empower yourself, and cultivate change.
I can help with:
- Identity
- Feelings of 'stuckness'
- Grief and loss
- Anxiety
- Low mood
- Self-esteem
- Relationships
- Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity (GSRD)
- LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy
- Eco therapy and nature connection
- Neurodiversity affirming therapy
I am dedicated to providing a safe, professional and supportive space to work together to navigate the challenges that come with being human.
I have over 15 years of experience working within welfare sectors in various settings; supporting mental health and well-being, financial hardships and those in education. I started my therapeutic training over 10 years ago and the journey to this point has offered a vast and enriching experience for personal and professional growth.
Within my therapeutic practice, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, with a wide age range and varying challenges. I have found it incredibly rewarding to support individuals in their journeys toward personal growth and healing.
My practice is located at Dartington Estate, where the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape encourages nature connection and offers a tranquil and inspiring backdrop for therapeutic work. My room is private, fully accessible for wheelchair users and is conveniently located by a car park. I offer a variety of session times to accommodate different schedules and am open to concession rates, as I believe therapy should be accessible to all.
If you are seeking a compassionate and curious Therapist who is committed to your journey, I would be honoured to work with you. I welcome you as you are, without judgement.
I offer a free 15 minute consultation call via telephone or video to discuss your needs, answer any questions you have and consider if you would like to work together. Please do get in touch.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

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.
