About me
Do you want to invest in yourself and in your future? Whether it’s through ongoing therapy, a one off session to wrestle with a specific question or via an assessment to better understand yourself, contact me to arrange a complimentary consultation to see how I can support you. I work with individuals of all ages and offer couples therapy.
A little bit about what I offer
I flexibly incorporate different techniques to support my clients towards their goals. These might include living life more authentically, managing symptoms, overcoming difficulties, navigating transitions, processing trauma/traumatic events, better understanding the past, feeling more connected to yourself and others, and more.
The basis of our work together will always be compassionate, person-centred and trauma informed.
Approaches I integrate to support my clients include EMDR, attachment focused EMDR, DBT, CFT, ACT, CBT, ERP, and systemic, person-centred and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I also offer clinical supervisor for (trainee) professionals/psychologists.
I am registered with HCPC, BPS and EuroPsy. I am also a counselor and psychotherapist with BACP and a member of EMDR Europe/UK.
Areas of interest and expertise
Adverse childhood experiences and (early) trauma: Life is hard. However, for some people this statement is an epic understatement. If you feel you are experiencing a difficult, maybe even traumatic, time in your life, or if you have had a difficult upbringing, I integrate different approaches to ensure you can safely give space to potentially some of the darkest times in your life and to find a way through to a lighter time.
Multiculturalism: Are you an expat, third culture kid, or is your life influenced in other ways by multiple cultures? Get in touch so we can explore questions of identity and belonging together
Perinatal period: Pregnancy, birth and parenthood are unique phases of life that can be joyful but also incredibly scary and painful. If you have experienced a birth trauma, pregnancy loss, infertility, are struggling with your mental health, think you might have a specific perinatal condition such as postnatal depression or perinatal OCD, feel isolated and alone, don't enjoy pregnancy or parenthood right now, or feel anxious or inadequate as a parent, contact me so we can figure out how to make things a bit lighter.
Although specialising in the perinatal period I welcome anyone to contact me to discuss how I might be able to support you as I have experience working with people of all ages and phases of life. Get in touch if you experience any of the following: anxiety, phobias, panic, OCD, PTSD/cPTSD/trauma, dissociation, depression, low mood, low self esteem, intense shame or guilt, neurodiversity (autism and ADHD).
Update: Community can be a healing balm, especially when you've just had a baby or are anticipating the arrival of a baby. With this in mind I will be arranging workshops in person / online around perinatal themes. Contact me for more information.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a chartered counselling psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), British Psychological Society (BPS) and EuroPsy. I am also a registered counsellor and psychotherapist with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), an EMDR therapist and clinical supervisor, and have expert experience in working with individuals in the perinatal period.
Prior to starting my doctoral training I completed a Bachelor of Arts, specialising in psychology and dance, a Master’s of science in clinical and child & adolescent psychology, and a postgraduate qualification in low intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
I also have experience working in charities and national health services internationally, developing a keen understanding and interest in cultural differences/similarities, identity, the role of language, and issues of relocation, alienation and belonging.
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.

Additional information
The price per session will depend on the length of and the nature of the session, which we will decide at the start of our work together. Typically sessions last 50 minutes (the therapeutic hour), however sometimes having longer sessions is useful, for example during EMDR processing or for individuals with neurodiversity who sometimes find it helpful to have slightly longer sessions to accommodate the way their minds work. One off sessions, couples sessions, or assessments are also priced differently.
