About me
Deciding to see a therapist can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to managing things on your own. Many people reach out when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or others. Therapy can provide a supportive space to explore your inner world, understand unhelpful patterns, and begin to relate to yourself with more clarity and compassion.
I believe that therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and able to trust the person you’re working with. I am a Psychotherapist and Counsellor with years’ of experience across public and private settings, working with people from all backgrounds. My way of working is warm, reflective, and empathetic, while also offering thoughtful challenge when this supports change.
I offer both medium and longer-term in-depth therapy, and also work in shorter-term therapy, usually 6 to 20 sessions, when a more focused approach is helpful.
My approach in therapy:
I aim to offer a safe, confidential, and supportive space where you can talk openly about what’s been troubling you. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why certain difficulties keep repeating. Therapy can provide a place to make sense of these experiences and feel less alone with them.
My work is informed by a psychodynamic approach, which explores how past experiences and relationships can continue to shape how we feel about ourselves and relate to others in the present. Often these patterns operate outside of awareness, yet they can influence both personal and professional relationships. Through a trusting therapeutic relationship, we can gently explore these patterns together and begin to understand them differently.
The focus of therapy is to support greater self-awareness and a deeper understanding of your inner world. This can help you relate to your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours with more compassion and flexibility, creating space for emotional growth and meaningful change.
I work in a way that is responsive to your individual needs. This may involve focusing on particular difficulties or coping strategies, or taking a more reflective approach to understanding yourself and your relationships. I also offer Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT), a time-limited model of up to 16 sessions, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful relational patterns that may be impacting your close relationships or working life.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I work with people who feel stuck or notice the same difficulties repeating in their relationships or inner life. This might include feeling anxious, overwhelmed, low, or very self-critical, or struggling to feel understood or close to others. I also support people facing work-related stress, relationship difficulties, and periods of change or loss. This includes those adjusting to uncertainty or building a new life in unfamiliar circumstances, such as after migration or through the experience of being a refugee. Many people I work with are also exploring issues around trust, boundaries, and feeling safe or settled in relationships.
