About me
I am a therapist working with individuals who want support around sex, intimacy, all types of relationships, and the emotional patterns that shape how we connect with ourselves and others. People often come to therapy feeling stuck, disconnected, ashamed, or uncertain - whether that shows up in their sex life, their relationships with partners, friends, family or their sense of self.
Drawing on psychodynamic and attachment-based principles, I work from a relational, person-centred foundation. I pay close attention not only to what you bring to therapy, but also to how we are together in the room. This can gently highlight patterns that may also appear in your relationships outside of therapy. I also place a strong emphasis on psychoeducation and emotional regulation, supporting clients to deepen self-compassion and strengthen their capacity for meaningful, connected relationships.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a DipHE in Humanistic Counselling from the University of Portsmouth and am a registered member of the BACP. Alongside my private practice experience, I have worked with clients experiencing a range of emotional and relational difficulties, including anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship challenges, shame, and identity concerns.
I am currently undertaking Master’s-level training in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy with the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology, further developing my knowledge and skills in working with intimacy, sexuality, desire, communication, and relationship dynamics.
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
My ethos supports individuals with a wide range of concerns, including intimacy difficulties, desire, communication, boundaries, shame, self-esteem, relationship conflict, and making sense of past experiences that continue to impact the present. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and paced carefully to suit you.
Sessions take place in a quiet, private space, offering a calm and confidential environment to talk openly. Free parking is available.
Initial Consultation:
Book a free 20-minute online consultation, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, get a sense of how I work, and decide whether I feel like the right therapist for you. This conversation is a chance to talk briefly about what’s bringing you to therapy and to see whether working together feels like a good fit.
The first session:
The first session is an opportunity for us to begin getting to know one another and to start shaping our work together. We will spend time discussing your background, the key concerns that have brought you to therapy, and what you would like to gain from the process.
I will ask some gentle, thoughtful questions to help build a clearer picture of your experiences and current difficulties. This helps us create an initial map for therapy, identifying areas we may want to explore and setting a direction that feels meaningful and manageable for you.
