About me
You have worked hard to build the life you have. And yet something doesn't feel right.
Perhaps you're exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix. Your mind won't switch off. You're succeeding by every external measure but privately struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, loneliness or the feeling that you're still not enough.
Maybe old experiences or family patterns are affecting how you see yourself or the relationships you have today.
Perhaps you and your partner are capable in every other area of your lives, but something between you has quietly broken down, through conflict, emotional distance, resentment, betrayal or simply losing your way back to each other.
Or perhaps you're a young person already carrying more than feels manageable while everyone around you thinks you're doing fine.
You don't have to be falling apart to come to therapy.
I am a BACP-registered integrative psychotherapist and qualified coach working with adults, couples and young people aged 16+.
I particularly understand the experience of people who appear to be coping, and may even be highly successful , while struggling privately underneath.
A therapist who understands the world outside the therapy room
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent more than 17 years working in senior corporate transformation environments.
I understand what it means to operate at pace, carry responsibility, perform under pressure and keep functioning when something inside you is asking for attention.
But you don't need to be a senior professional or identify as a "high achiever" to work with me.
I work with people experiencing anxiety, burnout, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, identity challenges and significant life transitions.
How I work
My style is warm, grounding and honest.
Therapy with me isn't about applying a formula to you. We'll become curious about what is happening beneath the surface, where particular beliefs or patterns came from, how they may once have protected you, and whether they are still serving you now.
My clinical training is integrative and trauma-informed. I draw on psychodynamic and person-centred therapy, CBT-informed approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and coaching-informed approaches where appropriate.
I also work with cultural sensitivity. Race, identity, family, culture and faith can shape our experiences in ways that aren't always recognised in traditional therapeutic spaces.
For clients who would like it, faith can be incorporated into our work. Therapy is not faith-based unless you choose it to be.
Perhaps you've been telling yourself...
"Other people have it worse."
"I should be able to handle this."
"Why am I struggling when my life looks fine?"
"Maybe I don't need therapy badly enough."
You don't need to wait until you're in crisis.
Sometimes therapy simply begins with recognising that the way you're currently living, thinking or relating is costing you more than you want it to.
Working with me
I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can talk about what has brought you to therapy and see whether working together feels right.
Individual therapy: £95 per 50-minute session
Couples therapy: £120 per 60-minute session
In person: Bedford & St Albans
Online: Across the UK
Availability: Weekday, evening and limited weekend appointments
I keep a deliberately limited caseload so I can offer depth and continuity to the people I work with.
You don't need to know exactly what you want to work on before getting in touch.
Sometimes knowing that something needs to change is enough.
Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting, especially if you are used to managing alone. Our first session is simply a conversation, with no pressure and no obligation. We explore what has brought you here, what you are hoping for, and whether we feel like a good fit.
If you are looking for a therapist to truly connect with your inner world, I would love to hear from you.

Don't wait until you're completely burnt out to reach out.

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.
The Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions (ACC) is a Christian professional membership organisation for those involved in counselling/psychotherapy and linked professions, i.e. pastoral care, coaching and spiritual direction, in the UK. The organisation is made up of various different membership categories, including Counsellor and Accredited, and requires all members working as counsellors to undertake Continuous Professional Development on a regular basis.

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).

Therapeutic Style
Clients often describe my style as warm, insightful, and grounding. I aim to create a therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity, and care.
I believe healing happens not only through understanding but also through connection, when you feel seen, heard, and accepted as you are.
