About me
Specialist in providing therapy to depressed teenagers, young adults and under 45s.
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Having the pull to hurt yourself or just end it all as its' all too much? Struggling with addictions? I work with teenagers and adults who have reached their lowest. If you're feeling anxious, depressed, can no longer cope with your mental health, we can work together to make strong positive changes and improve your well being. I am here to listen to you, to help you see the light when things are so heavy.
Have you spent a lifetime bottling up feelings? Pushing down past trauma into tiny boxes in your mind? Trying your best to just not think about things? Together we will work on discovering your mind in a safe space, led by you at your pace. We will look at your past trauma and work out how to get through it together in order for you to feel happier and healthier. I will show you coping strategies, we can work creatively and supply techniques to help you heal.
I work with both children, teens and adults of all ages, genders and identities.
I can support you every step of the way out of the black hole until you feel better.
If you are a parent looking for support for your teen, look no further. I have worked in schools for years and really understand teenage mental health and how to help them and their behaviours. I specialise in self-harm issues and childhood trauma.
If you are an adult looking for support for yourself I am relaxed, non-judgmental and free spirited in my approach to therapy. You will feel safe here, you will receive unconditional care and you will improve your mental health with my help. We will ride the waves of therapy and opening ourselves up together, you are going to be safe to cry, laugh, be angry, show every hidden emotion and completely explore yourself freely to reach a peaceful mind.
I am dedicated to creating a safe space to empower all identities, all genders, all races and all communities. Everybody is welcome and everybody is valued.
Have you suffered multiple traumas? Do you have issues with trust, or feel life is consistently a battle? Have you been betrayed in your relationship? Have you lost your sense of who you are and who you hope to be? In our therapy I help build your self-confidence, deal with past hurt and pain and look to the future of a better you. I hold your feelings every step of the way and hope that in working together you understand yourself and find your own peace.

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.
