About me
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, particularly if you’re used to holding everything together or putting others first. In my work, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space for women experiencing burnout, emotional overload or a sense of having lost themselves through caring roles, work pressures or life transitions.
I work collaboratively and at your pace. For some clients, our work is short-term and focused on a specific issue such as anxiety, relationship difficulties or burnout. For others, we work longer-term, gently exploring deeper patterns shaped by early relationships, childhood experiences or prolonged stress, and how these continue to impact life today.
My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, and I adapt the way I work to suit your needs rather than following a fixed model. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s a space where I support you to pause, reflect and make sense of what you’re carrying, at a pace that feels right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
Training, Qualifications & Experience
I have several years’ experience working across mental health and counselling settings, supporting women experiencing emotional overload, burnout, trauma, loss and major life transitions. Much of my work centres on women who function highly on the outside while feeling depleted, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves.
My experience includes working within NHS counselling services, facilitating perinatal mental health and wellbeing courses, running a private practice, and delivering group-based wellbeing offering women a supportive and reflective space. These roles have shaped my understanding of the emotional labour many women carry across work, relationships and caring roles, including but not limited to motherhood.
I work in an integrative, trauma-informed way, with sensitivity to how early experiences, prolonged stress and loss can impact emotional wellbeing. Alongside client work, I have also supported volunteer group facilitators within the charity sector, contributing to reflective practice, emotional support and safe group delivery.

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.
