About me
How I Can Support You...
As a Psychotherapist
I understand that life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and emotional pain can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Whether you’re struggling with relationships, with others or with yourself — I’m here to help. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful healing, and I create a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences freely.
Together, we’ll work to uncover the patterns that may be holding you back, explore healthier coping strategies, and empower you to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and clarity. My goal is to support you in understanding and managing emotional conflicts, so you can move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
As a Clinical Supervisor
If you’re a therapist looking to deepen your practice and grow professionally, I’m here to support you on that journey. I am a dedicated and experienced Integrative Counselling Supervisor with a passion for helping therapists develop their skills and confidence. I provide a reflective, supportive, and empowering space where you can explore your work, enhance your competencies, and strengthen your practice.
My approach to supervision places a strong emphasis on inclusion and diversity, with a particular focus on cultural, spiritual, and secular identities, trauma, relationships, and a wide range of physical, emotional, and psychological challenges. I am committed to fostering a collaborative and encouraging environment, where you feel empowered to navigate complex client dynamics and continue to grow as a practitioner.

Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a BSc (Hons) in Applied Psychology and Computing, a PGDip in Psychology, and an MSc in Therapeutic Counselling. I am also an accredited member of the BACP and have been practicing for over 15 years.
Over the years, I have developed deep expertise in domestic violence for both men and women strengthening familial relationships and addressing a wide range of emotional challenges. My experience spans working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, family separation, loneliness, body dysmorphia, homelessness, suicidal ideation, phobias, and psychosexual issues, always with a focus on fostering positive and lasting outcomes.
I am an integrative psychotherapist with a psychodynamic and person-centred focus, which allows me to tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs. My work is compassionate, insightful, and rooted in helping clients navigate complex emotional landscapes, empowering them to build resilience and achieve meaningful change.
In addition to my therapeutic work, I am also a clinical supervisor, providing guidance and support to other therapists. I am passionate about nurturing the development of practitioners by creating a reflective and supportive space where they can explore their practice, deepen their skills, and ensure the highest standards of care for their clients.
Beyond my work in therapy and supervision, I am also an organisational consultant for Thinking Space Consulting, where I apply my knowledge of human behaviour and systems to help organisations enhance leadership, improve team dynamics, and create healthier workplace cultures. My work includes facilitating leadership development programmes, delivering tailored training sessions, and supporting organisations through change management and strategic transformation. I am committed to helping businesses build environments where both individuals and teams can thrive.
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.
