About me

Im a holistic psychotherapist who specialises in supporting sensitive people with anxiety, overwhelm, low self-esteem, addiction and other challenges. Perhaps you're always holding it together for everyone else, yet inside you're exhausted, overthinking, and unsure how to slow down. You might say yes when you want to say no, struggle to rest without guilt, or find yourself numbing with food, alcohol, or endless doing. If you’re longing for calm, clarity, and deeper connection, I can help.

I work within a holistic model, gently exploring past patterns, shame, and the deeper roots of anxiety. I also integrate mind-body tools like breathwork and meditation to help you reconnect with yourself and embrace your sensitivity without losing your sense of self. Therapy with me is a gentle yet deep process that supports meaningful, lasting change.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, but you don’t have to heal on your own. If you’re curious about working together, I’d love to hear from you. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I'm a registered member of the BACP, and I have a postgraduate level 6 certificate in holistic integrative psychotherapy, specialising in mind-body principles. I also have a Master's degree and PhD in cognitive psychology, and I am a university mental health lecturer with experience of teaching medical doctors and psychologists. I have done additional training in REBT, motivational interviewing, and breathwork. My psychotherapy training involved several years of study, and several years of attending my own psychotherapy as well as working with clients throughout the training. 

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
