About me
Welcome. Are you suffering from stress, anxiety or low mood? Do you find yourself always worrying, struggling to cope, or feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges? You’re not alone and reaching out for support is a positive first step. Whether you’re facing difficulties at work, in your relationships, lack confidence or simply feeling stuck, we can work together to help you find clarity, build resilience, and start moving forward again.
As an experienced Integrative Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Supervisor, and Therapeutic Coach, I offer a warm, collaborative space for you to explore life’s challenges and discover new possibilities. My approach combines elements from a range of therapeutic models, allowing me to tailor our work to your unique needs. With over 10 years of experience, I understand that each person’s journey is different. I work with you to identify patterns, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools for lasting change.
I believe that lasting positive change begins with understanding ourselves with kindness and without judgement. When we truly listen to ourselves—supported by someone who genuinely hears us—we can make space for growth, resilience, and improved mental wellbeing.
There are many ways to engage with therapy, and my approach draws upon a variety of evidence-based models to suit each person’s needs. This includes not only established therapeutic frameworks but also allied methods such as breathwork and mindfulness, which can support greater self-awareness and emotional regulation. My areas of expertise include, but are not exclusive to, stress, anxiety, trauma, attachment and relationship difficulties, sub-fertility, depression, low self-esteem, and bereavement or loss. I also welcome those who may not have a specific issue in mind, but simply wish to deepen their understanding of themselves and find greater meaning and fulfilment in their lives.
You don’t need to have a specific problem to benefit from therapy. Many people come simply wanting to understand themselves better, find more meaning, or make sense of why they feel stuck or get in their own way. If you’re looking for help identifying your choices, understanding your decisions, or just wanting a space to reflect, I’m here to support you—wherever you are in your journey.
Initial Session : If you are curious about therapy and wondering which approach might be right for you, I offer a 30-minute introductory session, completely free of charge. This meeting is a relaxed chance for us to talk through what’s going on for you, explore different therapeutic options and models, and figure out what could suit you best. If you’re interested in continuing, we’ll discuss packages or next steps together.
Appointments Monday-Saturday with daytime and evening appointments available.
I offer reduced rate sessions and low-cost sessions (available to all - please contact for details).

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.
