About me
Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting, and it’s important to find someone you feel safe with. I offer a calm, thoughtful and non‑judgmental space where you can explore whatever is troubling you—whether it’s a specific issue in your life right now or a deeper wish to understand yourself more fully.
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist, which means we pay attention not only to what is happening in your present life, but also to earlier experiences that may still be shaping your feelings, relationships, and patterns today. Working together at a reflective pace, we can begin to make sense of these experiences and create room for change.
I see clients in my consulting rooms in Hertford and near Buntingford. I also offer online and telephone sessions. Alongside my private practice, I work with two charities, supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds and life circumstances.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling from the Counselling Foundation and am currently completing the Advanced Diploma. My academic background includes a degree from the University of Oxford, as well as postgraduate qualifications in education and executive leadership. I have several years’ experience working with adults in both private practice and charitable settings.
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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I support clients with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship problems, low self‑esteem, trauma, menopause‑related concerns, work‑related stress, and the challenges of loneliness or life transitions. Many people come with experiences that don’t fit neatly into a single category; we can explore these together at a pace that feels right for you.
