About me
Ready to transform confusion into clarity? I'm here to partner with you on that journey.
Life's challenges don't have to leave you feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Whether you're grappling with anxiety, depression, relationship complexities, or navigating major life shifts, I offer a distinctive collaborative approach to talking therapy. With over 15 years of practice, I specialise in helping people unlock their authentic selves and create meaningful, lasting change.
How We'll Work Together
Our partnership will be active and purposeful. We'll:
- Decode patterns that keep you feeling stuck or disconnected
- Design practical strategies tailored to your unique situation
- Discover your authentic voice beneath external pressures and expectations
- Build resilience through creative problem-solving and fresh perspectives
I bring genuine curiosity to our work together. You'll find me engaged, insightful, and committed to helping you develop the tools you need to thrive beyond our sessions. I offer a dynamic collaboration focused on real change.
My Areas of Expertise
Relationship Dynamics
Relationships are complex ecosystems that require skilled navigation. I work with individuals and couples who want to:
- Transform conflict into connection
- Strengthen communication and intimacy
- Navigate relationship transitions with confidence
- Rebuild trust and understanding after difficulties
- Design their own relationship blueprint to fit their preferences and circumstances
Whether you're coming as a couple/ relationship ready to invest in your partnership or as an individual wanting to understand your relational patterns, we work together on creating more fulfilling connections and discover the type of relationship that feels right for you.
Life Transitions & Identity
Major life changes can feel disorienting, but they're also opportunities for growth. I guide people through:
- Career shifts and professional reinvention
- Relationship beginnings and endings
- Parenting transitions and family changes
- Identity exploration and self-discovery
- Midlife reassessment and future planning
My approach helps you not just cope with change but harness it as a catalyst for becoming who you would like to be.
Anxiety, Depression & Emotional Wellbeing
Mental health challenges often signal that something in your life needs attention. Together, we'll:
- Explore the root causes behind symptoms
- Develop personalised coping strategies
- Build emotional resilience and self-compassion
- Create sustainable pathways to wellbeing
I'm particularly skilled at helping people who feel different, misunderstood, or marginalised—including those from LGBTQ+ communities and people with cross-cultural experiences find their place in the world with confidence.
What Makes My Approach Different
Collaborative Partnership: You're the expert on your life; I'm the expert on the process of change. We'll work as allies, combining your insights with my professional expertise.
Authentic Connection: I bring my whole self to our work—expect honesty, creativity, and genuine engagement.
Tailored Approach to growth to ensure that you feel heard, that you matter and that you can take ownership of your progress.

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.
