About me

Are you someone who appears to be coping on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted?

I specialise in supporting women navigating life transitions, including motherhood, relationship difficulties, career changes, grief, loss, or shifts in identity. You might be feeling anxious, burnt out, stuck, disconnected from yourself, or struggling with low self-confidence and self-doubt.

I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can slow down, make sense of what you are experiencing and feel genuinely heard. Together, we can begin to understand what is leaving you feeling overwhelmed or stuck, recognise patterns that may no longer be serving you, and help you reconnect with your own needs, boundaries and sense of self.

I work integratively, with a strong person-centred foundation, tailoring therapy to your individual needs. Our therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my approach, and I aim to create a space where you don't have to have everything figured out. 

I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, particularly if you're used to managing things on your own. I offer a free 15-minute introductory call where we can briefly discuss what has brought you to therapy, what you're looking for, and whether I might be the right therapist for you.

I currently have availability for new clients, both online and in person. If you'd like to explore working together, you're very welcome to get in touch.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
