About me
A calm place to slow things down and make sense of what has been building up. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or you are carrying more than you can manage, we will explore the patterns, pressures, and meanings behind what you are experiencing. Together, we will work at your pace to help you gain clarity, confidence, and a sense of self-direction.
Training, qualifications & experience
There are many reasons people come to therapy. It may be in response to a significant life change, the cumulative pressure of work and responsibility, difficulties in relationships, or a growing sense that something no longer fits. How we feel about ourselves and others can be a source of distress and anxiety and can impact our well-being. Exploring what we find challenging can give us a better understanding of our experiences.
Often, it’s not one single problem, but an ongoing undercurrent of anxiety, self-doubt, compulsive patterns, or emotional exhaustion that begins to affect how we experience ourselves and our lives. These struggles can feel isolating, especially when to others we appear to be doing well.
You may be used to functioning well, thinking clearly, and coping independently, and yet find yourself overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in cycles you can’t easily shift.
In therapy, you get to slow things down, reflect, and make sense of your experiences. This can be hard on your own, or with others, when you might feel judgement or expectations.
I offer a genuine, calm, grounded, and reliable presence. We will work at your pace and towards your goals. Exploring your unique experiences and the meaning you have made of them, untangling what feels complex, pressurised, or overwhelming. Through this process, greater clarity and self-understanding can emerge, creating space for change, choice, and growth.
I am trained as a person-centred, pluralist therapist. This means our work is not about me giving you advice or you being told what to do. Instead, we work together in a way that is tailored to you, drawing on different ways of working to support you in understanding yourself more fully and determining your own path.
I have experience working with ADHD, attachment, anxiety, depression, self-regulation, obsessive compulsive patterns, burnout, trauma, relationship difficulties, and periods of transition, both at home and at work. I also work with navigating identity questions, performance pressure, leadership roles, and where work has begun to feel unsustainable or misaligned. This includes experience supporting executive leaders, board-level directors, and individuals in high-profile positions. My work is grounded in confidentiality, discretion, psychological safety, and an understanding of the complex personal and professional pressures that can accompany senior visible roles.
Alongside my clinical training, I bring over 20 years’ experience working within the legal sector, large corporate organisations, and start-ups. This background informs my understanding of high-pressure environments, performance expectations, organisational dynamics, and the unspoken demands often placed on senior and high-achieving or high-profile professionals.
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.
