About me
I understand how scary it can be to take that first step in reaching out for support. My hope, as a fully qualified Counsellor & Psychotherapist, is to provide you with a safe, grounded space where you can freely explore what is on your mind.
I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space to support you through life's challenges. I offer flexible sessions tailored to your lifestyle, providing face-to-face therapy in Nottingham, as well as secure online sessions nationwide. This allows you to access support wherever you are, and from the comfort of your own space. Working together, we can safely unpack what feels heavy or tangled, helping you find your balance.
How I Can Help You
I work with adults across both short-term and long-term therapy, offering dedicated support for a wide range of experiences, including:
- Anxiety and Stress: Managing overwhelm, panic, and everyday burnout.
- Depression: Navigating low mood, lack of motivation, and feeling stuck.
- Self-Esteem & Identity: Healing your relationship with yourself and building inner confidence.
- Relationships & Family: Exploring interpersonal dynamics and communication patterns with others.
- Neuro-affirming Support: I have completed advanced, specialised training in neurodivergence, with particular focus on supporting autistic individuals navigating a neurotypical world.
Professional Registrations
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), ensuring my practice meets the highest professional and ethical standards.
My Therapeutic Approach
I work from a humanistic and integrative perspective. This means I tailor our sessions entirely to you, drawing from different therapeutic models to suit your individual needs. I offer a warm, empathetic, and professional relationship where we can safely explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences within a co-regulated working alliance.
I place a strong emphasis on the development of a real relationship, where I bring "my-self" and support you to be "your-self". I firmly believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most significant element in the effectiveness of psychotherapy, and it sits at the very core of my work.
My Therapeutic Philosophy
I support the view that every person is unique, with no two experiences the same. I believe that everyone is trying to be the best they can be, given what has happened during their lives. My perspective as a practitioner draws parallels with the belief that what is formed in relationship can be healed in relationship.
We are all worthy of being offered the right conditions, and we all have the power to move forward from a point of conflict and experience freedom, whilst learning to accept and love ourselves for who we really are.
When looking for a therapist, it is really important that you find the right one for you. I offer a free 20-minute consultation where we can get to know one another, talking through what you want from therapy and any worries you might have. I am happy to answer any questions about how I work, so you can make the choices you need with confidence.
Training, qualifications & experience
- Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP)
- Foundation Access in Counselling & Psychotherapy
- BSc (Hons) in Counselling & Psychotherapy
- Advanced CBT Diploma
- Volunteer Psychotherapist at Nottingham Counselling Service
I completed my degree in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy at The Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute, which is accredited by Staffordshire University. As part of the course, I also volunteered as a psychotherapist with Nottingham Counselling Service, a local mental health charity, and continued to offer my services after graduating.
To ensure the highest ethical standards and safe clinical practice, I am in regular professional supervision.
Having been a client in therapy myself in previous years, I deeply understand the unique mixture of vulnerability and courage it takes to step into that space. I wouldn't be where I am today without the meaningful contact, support, and safety I experienced during my own sessions, alongside the knowledge and tools I gained.
Because I know first-hand how transformative this relationship can be, I am deeply committed to offering the same dedicated support, safe space, and collaborative guidance to you on your own journey.
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.

Continuing Professional Development
I regularly update my skills to support my clients effectively. My most recent training focuses on understanding where anxiety comes from and how to work with it, managing anxiety in an uncertain world, navigating the dynamics of anger energy vs aggression, working supportively with neurodivergence and autism, and safely holding space for clients experiencing self-harm or suicidal ideation.
