About me
You’re very welcome here.
You might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward.
Many of the people I work with may seem to be coping on the outside, while internally struggling with self-doubt, anxiety, or patterns in relationships that feel difficult to shift. I offer a calm, supportive space where we can begin to gently explore these experiences and understand where they may come from.
How I work
I am an integrative psychotherapist and an accredited member of the BACP.
My approach is grounded in the belief that many of the ways we cope have developed for good reasons, often shaped by our past experiences and relationships. In our work together, we take time to understand what may be happening beneath the surface. This might include exploring attachment patterns, emotional responses, and the ways you have learned to protect yourself.
I aim to offer a space that feels safe, non-judgmental, and at your pace. I work in a relational and collaborative way, and may gently incorporate psychoeducation to support your understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
What I can support with
I work with people who may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of themselves, including those experiencing anxiety, low self-worth, or difficulties in relationships. Much of my work is rooted in understanding the impact of past experiences, including trauma, and how this can shape patterns such as overthinking, people-pleasing, or holding things in.
I have experience supporting individuals affected by trauma, including domestic and sexual abuse, and have previously worked as an Independent Domestic Violence Advisor (IDVA). I aim to offer a space that is inclusive, affirming, and respectful of all identities, including those within the LGBTQIA+ community.
I also work with young people (13 and above), and welcome enquiries from parents seeking support for their teenagers. I aim to offer a space where young people can feel safe, understood, and able to express themselves in a way that feels comfortable for them.
What to expect
Therapy offers a space to slow things down and begin to make sense of your experiences. Over time, this can support you in developing a deeper understanding of yourself, building healthier ways of relating, and feeling more able to move forward.
Qualifications and experience
I hold a Foundation Degree (FdSc) in Integrative Psychotherapy from the University of Greenwich and am an accredited member of the BACP.
My experience includes working in a range of settings, including supporting individuals affected by trauma, domestic abuse, and sexual violence. I have previously worked as an Independent Domestic Violence Advisor (IDVA), trained through SafeLives, which informs my understanding of the impact of these experiences.
I am currently undertaking supervision training with The Grove Practice, and continue to engage in ongoing professional development, including training in approaches such as CBT and DBT where appropriate.
Practical information
I offer both short-term and open-ended therapy, depending on what feels right for you.
I work with adults and young people (13+), and offer online, in-person, and telephone sessions.
Free consultation
I offer a free 15-minute consultation, where we can explore what you’re looking for and whether working together feels like the right fit.
If this feels like it might be the right space for you, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Foundation Degree (FdSc) in Integrative Counselling from the University of Greenwich, following earlier training in counselling skills (Levels 1–3).
Before establishing my private practice, I worked as an integrative psychotherapist within a women’s centre, supporting individuals with the impact of past experiences, including patterns in relationships, emotional responses, and ways of coping that may feel difficult to shift.
I have also worked as an Independent Domestic Violence Advisor (IDVA), including supporting individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community who have experienced domestic abuse. This work continues to inform my trauma-informed approach.
I am an accredited member of the BACP and am committed to ongoing professional development, including training in approaches such as CBT and DBT where appropriate.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
