About me

From the outside, it may look like you have it all together, capable, accomplished, and often the one others rely on. But inside, you might feel exhausted from carrying constant responsibilities while quietly managing your own stress, self-doubt, or emotional weight.

It might be that you are facing difficult situations now such as navigating a loss, a big change or relational conflict that you want to space to explore. Or maybe you are carrying pains from past relationships/experiences that show up in a cycle of behavioural and emotional patterns that you want to break.

I will help you to unpack and understand  what you carry within a private, non-judgmental space where you can feel at ease and where you can set the mask down, exhale, and receive support without needing to perform or explain it away.

With over 20 years’ experience working within the field of Psychology, I work by utilising various therapeutic models that will allow us to explore the difficulties you bring from an angle that is right for you. Together, we'll work to identify and understand the underlying thought and behavioural patterns that might be keeping you stuck or preventing you from moving forward. We can also explore how to establish healthier boundaries in your life, both personally and professionally. By developing new perspectives and practical coping strategies, you can begin to regain control, build resilience, and move towards greater future happiness and a more authentic and confident sense of self. 

My client work often focusses on areas such as (but not limited to);

  • Low mood.
  • Lack of Boundaries & people pleasing.
  • Low Self-Esteem/Confidence.
  • Relationship Difficulties.
  • Anxiety.
  • Navigating life events/stresses.
  • Burnout.
  • Loss.
  • Painful Pasts. 

Please note; I aim to get back to you within 48hrs (unless on annual leave), if requesting a response to your enquiry via email - my reply may go to junk/spam files. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I often work in areas of depression, bereavment, anxiety, stress, low self worth, feeling overwhelmed, relationship issues, work related anxiety, and more. The list can be endless and the best thing is to get touch and if I don't feel my skill set is right for you I will sign post you another therapist.

I currently am taking clients aged 16yrs and above.

I am an Accredited member of the BACP. My qualifications include:

  • Post Graduate Diploma Integrative Psychotherapy.
  • Certficate in Couples Therapy.
  • Compassion Focussed Therapy - L2 Acred APT
  • BSc(Hons) Psychology with Counselling Studies.
  • PGCE

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.

Key details

DBS check

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

My private practive is in a town centre location with ample parking options, on the ground floor.
