About me
Struggling with your thoughts and feelings doesn't mean you're weak or failing. Yet we often judge ourselves this way and get caught up fighting ourselves to try to feel OK. This is draining and may leave you feeling as if you're hardly staying afloat. I offer you a calm space to find a way through—to reconnect to yourself and others, and feel free from the weight of it all.
I'm a warm and experienced therapist with a background in charities, the NHS, and private practice. For over 10 years now, I’ve had the privilege of helping people from all walks of life to navigate their difficulties, moving beyond what's keeping them stuck to a place of greater confidence and wellbeing.
How I work
I'm calm and empathic and offer you the chance to be fully heard, without judgement. This isn't passive listening, but an active exploration of your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Here you can safely explore at your own pace.
This can look different from person to person. There's no one-size-fits-all and I will work with you to find a balance, approach and focus which resonates with you.
I also invite you to explore what you're experiencing within your body. This offers a fuller picture than your thoughts and feelings alone, allowing us to work with the whole of you.
As you process your feelings and experiences, you can learn new ways of responding to yourself and the world. You can foster self-compassion, improve your relationships and move towards greater wellbeing, confidence, and personal growth.
Specialisms
I have worked successfully with a large range of issues and continue to welcome people with diverse needs and backgrounds. At the same time, I have developed specialisms and areas of interest over the years:
- Depression and low self-worth
- Relationship issues (romantic partner, friendship and family)
- Identity struggles and marginalisation
- Childhood trauma
Ready to take the first step?
Choosing a therapist amongst a sea of choices can feel daunting, especially when trying to balance a busy life. I offer online therapy to adults of all ages. It's convenient, accessible and research shows it's just as effective as face-to-face.
If you’re ready to take the first step or have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!
Call, text or click here to send me an email.
I also offer telephone sessions. For some people, this feels more accessible and practical—especially if anonymity is important or you feel too exposed with the video on. If this sounds like you, then please get in touch and we can discuss how it could work for you.
Training, qualifications & experience

I have extensive experience working with both private clients and NHS services that specialise in treating depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, chronic health conditions, and bereavement.

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.

Diversity
I hold a strong commitment to working with diversity in the counselling space, aiming to maintain a keen awareness of how the groups and cultures I represent may influence the relationship and therapy. I have enjoyed working with people of various sexualities and gender identities (LGBTQ+) and from a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds.

Additional information
It can be difficult to choose a therapist when faced with so many options. I offer a free 15-minute introductory conversation so we can meet and explore whether my approach is a good fit for you.
My standard fee for sessions is £60 but I may be able to offer a concession for those who are on a low income. I may also be able to offer counselling students a discount whilst they are having the compulsory therapy from their course.
Please note that my rate is higher when claiming through insurance.
