With over a decade of experience, I offer warm, grounded therapy for adults and young people navigating life’s most challenging experiences within this unpredictable world.
I have specialist training in trauma across a wide range of experiences and hold neuro-affirming ways of thinking, feeling, and experiencing the world.
My approach is a mixture of person-centred and solution focused therapy..meaning..I deeply believe in the power of being heard, your voice, pace, and needs guiding the work, with an added invitation to restructure your ways of thinking. After all.....I guess you want things not to be the same, wishing for a shift and change, let the work commence and your tool box be bulging!
I work intuitively, gently attuning to what may be unspoken, noticing patterns and emotional undercurrents. You're on the inside. I'm observing from the outside, possibly viewing things too close for you to see, tangled, linked to the past, presenting in confusion, currently playing out in your everyday life.
I offer therapy outdoors along natural woodland trails and beside water, as well as online and in-person sessions in private room settings.
Being in nature can gently soften the intensity of trauma work, providing a calm, sensory-friendly environment, particularly supportive for those who feel overwhelmed in traditional clinical spaces. The natural world can be grounding, restorative, and quietly holding.
Join me outdoors, where nature offers calm, perspective, and a steady backdrop for meaningful therapeutic work.I feel Autumn is on it's way, the shedding of the old in preparation of the new.How do you see that looking for you?
Book a single session for a specific issue, weekly, fortnightly or monthly — you choose!
Each session is private, but you’re welcome to be near someone you trust, your dog companion is very, very MOST welcome!

Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP)
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.
