About me
I believe therapy can be genuinely transformational when it’s approached with intention and care. When you step into this process with openness, you start noticing the deeper parts of yourself — your patterns, your history, your hopes, and the areas that might feel vulnerable or unfamiliar. This isn’t always comfortable, and it isn’t meant to be. But it’s often where the most meaningful shifts happen.
The relationship we build matters. I want our sessions, whether online or in person, to feel like a space where you can show up exactly as you are. You should feel understood, listened to, and supported. My focus is always on helping you create a life that feels better and more aligned with who you are.
We might look at your past, your relationships, your reactions, or your future goals. Whatever you bring, I’m always holding the same question: How can I support you with this right now? Therapy isn’t meant to be effortless. If it feels too easy, we probably aren’t touching the areas that have the potential to create real, lasting change. My role is to offer steady, honest support while you explore your whole self. As you understand yourself more fully — your strengths, your needs, your old patterns — you gain more clarity and choice in how you move forward.
I know I won’t be the right therapist for everyone, and that’s completely okay. But if we do work together, you can expect a space where the work we do is taken seriously, handled with care, and centred on what you genuinely want for yourself.
I have worked in both private practice and public mental health services, supporting people with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and neurodivergence (including ADHD, dyslexia, and autism). These experiences have shaped my collaborative approach: therapy is not about offering ready-made solutions, but about creating space for reflection, understanding, and growth at your own pace.
I currently offer in-person sessions in Bridport, as well as online therapy. If you feel I might be a good fit, please reach out for a complimentary introductory call. Together, we can explore your needs and create a support plan that feels right for you.

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.
