About me

I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your present experience and personal history at a depth and pace that feels right for you. My clinical experience in psychology, counselling, trauma, psychoeducational groupwork, and cognitive behavioural therapy, together with my academic studies in philosophy and culture, shapes an approach that is both evidence-based and reflective of the whole person.

As an integrative cognitive behavioural therapist, I work from a growth and strengths-based perspective, supporting you to reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom, your brain’s natural neuroplasticity, and your mind’s inherent capacity for change.

Therapy with me is collaborative and compassionate. Together, we create a space to explore how your past experiences and coping strategies have shaped the way you respond to life today. By examining and gently reshaping patterns that may no longer serve you, you can begin to find more flexible, meaningful ways of relating to yourself and your world.

This process often brings a renewed sense of clarity and self-understanding, helping you to replenish your emotional resources and realign your values with the direction you wish to move in life.

If we choose to work together, I will walk alongside you in this process. My commitment is to support your growth, help you strengthen your inner resources, and empower you to make the adaptations that lead toward wholeness and fulfilment.

I welcome Adults from all backgrounds and life experiences, tailoring therapy to meet your unique needs and goals.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
