About me
I know. Where do you even start? How can you pick someone from a picture and some text when it feels so personal and daunting? Well, I'm here to make that process easier, simpler, and hopefully even enjoyable.
I’m an integrative therapist, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic models to suit each client’s unique needs, personality, and pace. Whether we’re talking in a room, walking side by side in nature (yes, I offer walk-and-talk therapy!), or sitting cross-legged on the floor with felt-tip pens in hand - I aim to meet my clients in their world, not mine.
I have a specialism in working with children and young people, but I also work with adults, families, and couples. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, nor do I believe therapy is about 'fixing' you. At the heart of my work is a deep commitment to acceptance, non-judgement, and helping people feel truly seen and valued, just as they are. I am passionate about my clients and my work, which is about making sense of things together.
You aren't broken; you may just be stuck in something painful or uncomfortable that, with help, you can move through. It’s about gently untangling the knots, sitting with the messiness, and slowly giving you a sense of control back over your story. You will lead the way, because you are the expert of your world. We might use talking, drawing;
I expect my dog will want to get involved, or I will just listen - whatever helps your inner world feel a little more understandable.
Therapy with me is an invitation to feel heard, to be curious, and to remember that it’s okay not to have it all figured out... yet!

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.
