About me
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed or anxious, you might be wondering why you have these feelings.
Maybe you are in a relationship that doesn’t feel safe?
Or you feel like there is something missing in your life?
Have you always had to be the strong one? Do you adopt the role of fixer, or peacemaker?
Have these things left you feeling exhausted and unable to just say “STOP!”.
I offer a warm, safe, down-to-earth space for people who feel stuck in survival mode - numb, constantly overthinking, or quietly struggling behind a capable exterior.
My style is supportive, honest and real. I work actively and alongside you, helping you identify patterns of behaviour, make sense of why you keep ending up in the same situations, and understand why you struggle to trust yourself.
My work is shaped by both professional training and lived experience. I know what it feels like to have the foundations beneath you disappear. Maybe a tough divorce, redundancy or being in a relationship that doesn’t feel emotionally safe.
I also understand the reality of people-pleasing, and what it’s like to lose your sense of self over time.
I have strong working-class roots, and bring no judgement or labels — it’s about real change at a pace that suits you.
How I work
I work on the premise that you have the answers within; you just need help to tease those answers out.
I also pay close attention to how your past still shows up in the present — in your nervous system, your confidence, your boundaries, and your relationships.
My approach is compassionate, non-judgemental, and at a pace that feels safe, because I understand that for many people, simply being open and vulnerable can feel like a risk.
What I can help with
I specialise in working with:
- Adults from all walks of life
- Childhood trauma and family dysfunction
- Emotionally unsafe or toxic relationships
- People-pleasing, and low self-esteem
- Depression, anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional burnout
- Relationship difficulties, attachment wounds, and repeated patterns
- People who spent their life ‘getting on with it’ while feeling lost, stuck, or constantly on edge
What you can expect
Therapy with me is a space where you can stop performing, stop coping, and start feeling like yourself again.
Clients often describe me as warm, grounded and easy to talk to. I aim to offer a space that feels emotionally safe, supportive and steady — where you can explore what you’ve been through and begin to rebuild trust, confidence and boundaries.
You can choose from online or face-to-face sessions in a warm and welcoming practice in Hartley Wintney, Hampshire.
Alternatively, we can get outside and walk & talk.

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.
