About me
I’m an experienced integrative psychotherapist with a background within the NHS and a domestic and sexual abuse charity. I specialise in supporting people through trauma, unhealthy patterns and behaviours, abuse, relationship problems and more.
I provide a safe space to explore and navigate difficult emotions that may be weighing you down or impacting your relationships. Whether you’re dealing with a specific traumatic experience or simply feeling overwhelmed without knowing why, our work together can help you make sense of what you’re carrying and find a way forward.
Sessions are available online or by phone.
Together, we will build a trusting, collaborative connection. By creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard and understood, we can work through challenges to help you feel clearer, stronger and more connected, both to yourself and to others.
Individual Psychotherapy
My approach is compassionate, relational, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll work to uncover and unpack the root causes of your challenges, so you can gain clarity, resilience, and lasting personal growth. I integrate a range of therapeutic techniques to ensure our sessions feel right for you and meaningful in your everyday life.
Areas I work with include:
- Trauma
- Abuse (including specialist training in narcissistic abuse, alongside work in a domestic & sexual abuse charity)
- Family trauma & estrangement
- The impact trauma can have on the body, using somatic therapy to help integrate thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations.
- Sexual exploitation and violence
- Maladaptive behaviours (such as self-harm, intense emotional attachment/limerence or excessive daydreaming/maladaptive daydreaming)
I appreciate how sensitive and intertwined some challenges can be, and welcome clients struggling with issues that have often been misunderstood.
Somatic Therapy
Trauma can affect both the mind and the body, and sometimes talking about an experience alone may not feel enough to fully process what has happened. You may understand something logically but find that your body responds differently, as though your head and body aren’t quite aligned. Somatic approaches can help us explore and process these responses, but they can also be used more broadly as part of trauma therapy to support deeper processing.
I incorporate somatic approaches, where appropriate, or offer somatic therapy (Brainspotting) on its own.
Couples Counselling
My experience supporting couples through the Gottman Method, a research-based approach to couples counselling, has provided me with deep insights into relationship dynamics, communication, and conflict patterns. I now focus exclusively on individual therapy, using this expertise to help you understand your relationships, recognise patterns, and strengthen your emotional wellbeing in a safe, supportive space.
I offer a free introductory call so you can get a sense of me and discuss how we could work together. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
