About me
Perhaps you’ve spent a long time coping on your own. From the outside, everything might look perfectly fine, but on the inside, you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just completely exhausted by the same old patterns. If that sounds familiar, please know you don’t have to keep carrying it all by yourself.
I offer a warm, confidential, and down-to-earth space where you can speak openly without fear of judgment. Together, we’ll look at what you’re going through, make sense of the challenges you're facing, and work toward real, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
My approach
My approaches is tailored around you.
Because no two people are the same, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. My practice is integrative and psychoanalytically informed. In plain terms, this means we might look at how your past experiences, relationships, and hidden patterns are still showing up in your life today, while also focusing on practical ways to help you feel better in the present.
I draw from a rich blend of therapies, including Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural (CBT), Interpersonal (IPT), and Humanistic approaches, to tailor our sessions uniquely to you.
Experience & Background
With over 16 years of clinical experience in the NHS and more than a decade in private practice, I have supported individuals and couples through a vast range of life challenges. Alongside my private work, I hold a senior NHS leadership role as a Referrals and Care Pathways Lead, where I specialize in managing complex mental health needs and shaping high-quality care.
Inclusivity and communication are core to my practice. I offer therapy in English, Italian, and Spanish, and I am currently completing my BSL (British Sign Language) Level 3, allowing me to offer a more accessible, supportive space for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community.
Areas of Support
Whether you are dealing with a recent crisis or navigating long-standing, complex difficulties, I am here to help. I have extensive experience working with:
Anxiety, stress, and burnout
Depression and low mood
Trauma, PTSD, and relational trauma
Relationship, intimacy, and identity issues
Low self-esteem and confidence
Bereavement and loss
Complex emotional presentations and safeguarding concerns
Addiction, eating difficulties, and anger management.
Taking the Next Step
Whether you are looking for short-term, focused support or deeper, long-term exploratory therapy, my goal is to help you feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered.
Finding the right therapist is a deeply personal decision. If you’d like to see if we'd be a good fit, please feel free to reach out to arrange an initial consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Psychologist, Psychotherapist and Counsellor with over 16 years of experience working within NHS mental health services and more than 10 years in private practice. Alongside my clinical work, I currently hold a senior NHS leadership role as Referrals and Care Pathways Lead, with responsibility for assessment, care planning, and supporting individuals with complex psychological needs.
My professional experience includes extensive work within forensic services, where I supported individuals facing complex emotional, behavioural, and relational challenges. This background has provided me with a deep understanding of trauma, risk, safeguarding, personality difficulties, and long-standing patterns of distress.
Qualifications include:
• Degree in Psychology
• Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling
• Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy
• Diploma in Integrative Supervision
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), and a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS).
My therapeutic approach is integrative and psychoanalytically informed, drawing from Psychodynamic Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Transactional Analysis. This allows me to tailor therapy to each individual's unique circumstances, needs, and goals.
I have extensive experience supporting clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, identity concerns, bereavement, work-related stress, substance misuse, and complex relational difficulties. I work with both short-term and long-term therapy clients, offering a thoughtful, collaborative, and professionally grounded therapeutic relationship.
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.
