About me
Hello
Therapy offers a space where you don’t have to be alone with your thoughts and feelings. It can help you reconnect with yourself, with others and with life, in ways that feel more comfortable, fulfilling, and lasting.
I work relationally, because I believe healing is possible through a safe, attuned connection. With care and consent, we notice what arises between us and within you, creating space for new experiences of safety, trust, and empathy.
Our work will be collaborative and paced by you and your nervous system. If you wish we can draw on nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, and nature connection supporting you to build a deeper relationship with yourself — one rooted in compassion rather than criticism. We might talk, sit in silence, slow things down, notice breath and sensation, or explore how your body carries your story. I will be guided by you and your wishes and hopes for therapy and life.
I offer a free 20-minute chat/ video call - a relaxed opportunity to connect, ask questions, and get a feel for how we might work together. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.

My way of working
I have worked with people from many walks of life, each facing different challenges. Because everyone’s needs are unique, therapy looks different for each person. My trauma-sensitive, person-centred approach means we move at your pace, guided by your interests, and focus on what will best support your goals for therapy.
At the core of my approach is compassion. I don't sit with you as the expert of your life with it all worked out. I sit with you as another human who genuinely cares about how you’re doing and wants to support you to understand and accept yourself more deeply and to make the changes you want to see in your life.
The core principles that guide my work are
- Empathy - A deep interest in understanding your unique experiences.
- Unconditional positive regard - Acceptance of who you are, exactly as you are.
- Honesty - A genuine, real approach to how I show up for you.
- Building trust and respect - Creating a safe therapeutic relationship where you can explore your thoughts, heal relational wounds, recognise patterns, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
