About me
How I Can Support You
There are times in life when you can feel as though you are holding everything together for everyone else, while privately feeling overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected from yourself. You may be struggling with a relationship, family difficulties, low self-esteem, anxiety, a significant life change or experiences from the past that continue to affect you.
Perhaps you understand what is happening intellectually, but still find yourself repeating the same patterns, questioning yourself or struggling to know what you really want. Therapy can provide a space to slow things down, make sense of what you are experiencing and begin to understand yourself in a different way.
I am an experienced, accredited psychotherapist and I work with adults, young people and couples experiencing a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties. I particularly support people who are navigating relationship problems, separation and divorce, family conflict, trauma, domestic or emotional abuse, identity issues, low self-worth and major life transitions.
I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is central to meaningful therapeutic work. I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can be open about your experiences and explore difficult thoughts and feelings at your own pace.
My approach is integrative, drawing particularly on person-centred and psychodynamic thinking. This means that we can explore what is happening for you now, while also considering the experiences, relationships and patterns that may have shaped how you see yourself and others. We will work collaboratively, with the aim of helping you develop greater self-understanding, emotional resilience and confidence in making choices that feel right for you.
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 an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP Accred) and have over 15 years' experience working therapeutically with individuals experiencing complex emotional and psychological difficulties.
Throughout my career, I have supported people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic and emotional abuse, relationship difficulties, family separation, loneliness, low self-esteem, identity concerns and other challenges affecting their emotional wellbeing. I have worked with both men and women and understand that each person's circumstances, relationships and experiences are unique.
I also have extensive experience working with cultural, identity and diversity issues. I recognise that family, culture, relationships, expectations and personal values can all influence how we understand ourselves and the choices available to us. Where relevant, these can be explored sensitively within therapy without judgement or assumptions.
Alongside my therapeutic practice, I am a clinical supervisor and an organisational consultant. These roles have further developed my understanding of relationships, communication, group dynamics and the ways in which people respond to change and uncertainty.
Whether you are experiencing a particular difficulty or simply know that something no longer feels right, you do not have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin with where you are now and work together to understand what you need.
If you would like to explore whether I could be the right therapist for you, please get in touch. We can arrange an initial conversation to discuss what you are looking for and whether therapy with me feels like a good fit.
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).
