About me
What will happen in our sessions?
Relational depth is an essential part of our therapeutic work. In our sessions, we will aim to build trust, acceptance, and understanding. We are two different people but the therapeutic alliance involves sharing the same space, and doing so with empathy and respect. No matter where our work leads, our relationship is the foundation for exploration.
Why did you decide to become a therapist?
I started volunteering for a suicide crisis line and loved the work so much that I decided to train as a therapist and dedicate my career to helping people with their mental health. I was also frustrated with the medical model and wanted to centre clients at the heart of my practice.
Will we share the same values?
No two people are the same, but I believe in the importance of mutual respect and shared humanity, which includes anti-racist and LGBTQ+ inclusive practice. I value open-mindedness, whether you are speaking about pornography addiction, recreational drug use, or other aspects of life you are worried about bringing to therapy.
Training, qualifications & experience
I graduated with an undergraduate degree in English before studying person-centred counselling and therapy at university. I worked with mental health charities across the county, before starting work as an affiliate therapist for The Eaves. I have additional certification in self-harm and suicide prevention.
I have another job in the creative industries, and welcome clients who would like to integrate writing or art into our work.

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.
