About me
If you’re looking for support, we can take some time to explore what’s brought you to seek therapy, at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Together, we can begin to understand what you need for healing and personal growth.
If you’d like to get a sense of how this might feel, you’re very welcome to get in touch. I’d be glad to hear from you and see whether we might be a good fit to work together.
I believe that each of us has an innate capacity for healing and growth. Sometimes, all that is needed is a safe space and the courage to take the first step.
My practice is integrative, drawing on the modalities of person-centred therapy, transactional analysis, and Gestalt. This enables me to respond flexibly to your specific needs and to tailor our work to what feels most supportive for you.
I am particularly interested in how early relational experiences might influence us in adulthood and how awareness of our patterns, behaviours and underlying narratives can support meaningful change. We all view the world through our own personal lens. You are the expert in your own life and my role is to enable you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and relationships safely and authentically.
Before training as a therapist, I spent many years working in the creative arts. This background has given me a strong understanding of life within competitive and uncertain environments, and how these pressures can affect confidence, self-worth, and emotional wellbeing. I often work with clients who feel anxious, insecure, or disconnected from parts of themselves they once knew.
Alongside my private practice, I work as a bereavement counsellor within the Psychological and Emotional Support team of an in-patient hospice unit. In this role, I support bereaved adults and individual family members as they navigate the emotional impact of end-of-life care. This work has deeply shaped my practice as a therapist. It has strengthened my ability to be fully present, to support people through times of profound vulnerability and transition, to listen with care and without judgement.
Ethical and non-discriminatory practice is central to my work. I welcome individuals of all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, and identities.
I undertake regular supervision and continuing professional development to ensure I offer a consistent, safe, and high-quality service.
I offer a free initial 15-minute telephone consultation, giving us the opportunity to briefly discuss your needs and for you to ask any questions. If you wish to proceed, we will arrange an initial session. This allows me to gain a deeper understanding of your situation and gives you the space to decide whether you feel comfortable working with me.
If you decide to continue with therapy, we will meet weekly at a regular time for 50-minute sessions. I offer both short-term and long-term therapy, depending on your needs, which we would review together at regular intervals.

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.
