About me
Life can be challenging at times which can leave us feeling emotionally distressed, anxious, disconnected and overwhelmed. I create a safe, supportive space where you can gently process challenging and transformative experiences at your own pace so healing can unfold.
I offer a grounded compassionate, and collaborative space where you can explore experiences openly and without judgement. My approach is relational and integrative, drawing from psychotherpay, somatic awareness, mindfulness-based practices, and depth-orientated exploration to support healing, insight, and meaningful change. Embarking on a journey of healing and self-discovery is one that takes courage, but the rewards are fruitful and will have a lasting impact on your life.
I believe that everyone, regardless of their life experiences, can heal from the challenges that life brings our way. Difficulties such as work-related stress, relationship problems, abuse, trauma, loss, addictions, sexuality and identity issues can cause emotional distress, depression, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, a lack of confidence as well as physical pain and illness. What often stands in the way of healing are the unseen barriers we carry within - limiting beliefs, unresolved wounds, and emotional defences shaped over time.
I am a qualified as a Mental Health Nurse, Therapist, Psychedelic Integration Coach, Group Work Facilitator, Trainer and Clinical Supervisor. I have 30 years of experience in trauma informed therapy and wellness . I specialise in working with anxiety, depression, overwhelm, disconnection, low self-esteem, identity issues, existential crises or inquiry, spiritual awakening and psychedelic integration.
I have lived through long periods of feeling lost, disconnected and exhausted. For years I survived rather than lived, swinging between adrenaline and shutdown. Throughout my life healing has been a constant thread - sometimes slow, sometimes difficult, but always meaningful. In my 30's I engaged in therapy to work through trauma and grief and found the process profoundly life changing. It showed me the power of healing through connection and inspired me to support others in feeling whole and integrated.
The Therapy Space
I currently offer telephone and online counselling sessions.
Choosing a Therapist
The quality of the therapeutic relationship is an essential part of therapy. It is vital that you feel like you can connect with your Therapist without fear of judgement so that you can be your authentic self. I can offer you a free initial 20-minute discovery call, providing you with the opportunity to discuss the therapeutic process and decide whether I am the right Therapist for you.
I work collaboratively, we will negotiate a way of working that feels right for you and at your pace, this may be short or long-term work. I welcome you to contact me via email to find out more about how we may be able to work together.

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.
