About me
I am a trauma-informed counsellor and psychotherapist with a special interest in trauma, grief, bereavement, relational dynamics, emotional healing and self-development.
I understand that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, and I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to creating meaningful and lasting change. My approach is warm, reflective, compassionate, and grounded in providing a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported.
I work collaboratively with clients to explore emotions, life experiences, behavioural patterns, relationships, identity, self-esteem, and personal growth at a pace that feels safe and manageable. I recognise the impact that trauma, loss, and difficult relational experiences can have on emotional well-being, self-worth, and connection with others.
Alongside my professional training, I am passionate about supporting individuals in developing greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, healthier boundaries, and a deeper understanding of themselves.
My aim is to help clients feel empowered, supported, and less alone in navigating life's challenges.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a professionally trained counsellor and psychotherapist offering integrative, relational therapy for adults seeking depth, emotional clarity, and lasting psychological change.
I hold a 1:1 Bachelor's degree in Counselling, alongside professional counselling training in integrative psychotherapy. My training integrated person-centred, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed approaches, enabling me to work both with present-day challenges and the underlying emotional and relational patterns that shape them.
I have particular experience working with ADHD and neurodivergent clients, supporting difficulties with emotional regulation, overwhelm, rejection sensitivity, and patterns of self-criticism or burnout. My work in this area is grounded in both clinical understanding and a nuanced awareness of how neurodivergence impacts emotional experience, identity and relationships.
A key part of my work includes psycho-education within sessions - helping clients understand their emotional responses, behavioural patterns, and nervous system reactions in a way that reduces shame and increases self-awareness. This process often supports clients to make sense of experiences that have previously felt confusing, overwhelming, and self-critical.
Alongside my core training, I engage in ongoing professional development to ensure my practice remains ethically grounded, current, and clinically robust.
My approach is steady, collaborative, and deeply relational. I prioritise safety and trust while supporting clients gently shift long-standing patterns and develop a more regulated, self-compassionate internal experience.
Clients often seek me out when they are ready to not just manage symptoms, but to understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful, sustainable change in how they relate to themselves and others.
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.

Further information
Consultation:
I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation via telephone to provide a safe and supportive space for us to explore what has brought you to therapy and what you may be looking for from counselling.
This is an opportunity for you to ask any questions, discuss your needs, and gain a sense of whether I feel like the right therapist for you. I understand that beginning therapy can feel daunting, and I aim to make the process feel as comfortable, collaborative, and approachable as possible.
There is no pressure or obligation to continue following the consultation.
