About me
I offer a safe, non-judgemental space for you as you explore challenges, friction and buried emotions in your internal world, helping to create room for the most authentic version of you to emerge - safely, and in connection with yourself and others.
My trauma-informed approach weaves together traditional counselling, parts work, EFT, and ICF coaching (where appropriate) to offer a flexible, personal and tailored path through healing and change.
I believe in the importance of having a safe and supportive place to make sense of both the difficult things that might have happened to you (trauma, abuse, illness, neglect, loss) and the good things that might not have (feeling seen, soothed, safe, and secure). These experiences likely shaped how you show up in your adult life, influencing everything from self-esteem, identity, and emotional regulation to relationships, addictive patterns, obsessions, limerence, disillusionment with self and others, anxiety, depression, stress, physical symptoms, attachment issues, chronic shame, and trouble being present in our everyday experiences.
Both counselling and coaching can offer a space for you to reconnect with who you are beneath the layers of pain, shame, and protection - supporting you to come home to a more authentic, grounded expression of yourself in your life and relationships.
Work can either be short-term, for example 6-8 sessions, or open-ended if you are looking for longer term support. I offer online sessions, UK-wide. For international clients, please state this in your enquiry.
Training, qualifications & experience
My work blends therapeutic depth with practical change. I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Coaching. I’m also informed by Internal Family Systems, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and additionally trained in a six stage inner child healing process called The Compassion Method™, similar to Gabor Mate’s Compassionate Inquiry. Together we explore both your present-day experiences and the roots beneath them. This may include looking at past relationships, early experiences, and the internal patterns that continue to shape your emotional world.
Through this integrative process, we can:
- Understand the origins of current patterns
- Work compassionately with triggers, shame, and self-criticism
- Support your inner child and core emotional needs
- Build emotional regulation and self-leadership
- Strengthen your sense of identity and self-worth
- Create goals and changes that feel grounded and sustainable
- When we tend to the root of our challenges, rather than merely managing the symptoms presenting on the surface, we often discover that our present day challenges can be resolved much more directly and with longer-lasting impact and ease. Sessions can either be pure counselling, or a combination of counselling and coaching together.
At the heart of my practice is the belief that real transformation becomes possible when we are met with acceptance, compassion, and genuine curiosity. By honouring where you are right now, we create the conditions for lasting change to unfold at a pace that feels right for you. Whether this is your first experience of therapy or coaching or you’re returning after many chapters of your own work, we will shape a space that meets you exactly where you are.
You let me know where you'd like to begin, and we go from there together. Therapy is a space where you don't have to carry the weight alone.
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 offer flexible availability, including weekday mornings and evenings, with some weekend appointments also available. Please contact me for my current availability.
Sessions are held online via Zoom or Google Meet for ease and accessibility.
I offer a free, no obligation, 30 minute initial conversation.
You will have space to share what has brought you to seek support at this time and what you are hoping to gain from the work. I understand that seeking counselling in particular can feel daunting, especially during stressful or overwhelming times, so I aim to make the process as supportive, human and connected as possible from the very beginning.
You’re welcome to bring any questions or hesitations - there is no pressure to share more than feels comfortable at this stage.
