About me
I’m approachable, friendly and down-to-earth. As an experienced Humanistic Psychotherapist, I have a particular interest in supporting people with anxiety. I work with people experiencing depression, work burnout, relationship issues and ADHD. People often come to me wanting to understand why they behave in specific ways and aren't where they want to be in life. I aim to help you gain self-awareness, make better choices and feel more fulfilled.
Having spent 12 years in the corporate world myself, I get how demanding and stressful it can be. That's what led me to retrain as a psychotherapist. My five-year Master's degree and training as a supervisor mean I can offer effective support grounded in solid methods. I've also had the privilege of working as an NHS bereavement therapist and directing a counselling service, which has broadened my understanding of how to help people through different challenges.
Through my private practice, I help individuals find balance and well-being amidst the demands of modern life. I will use our first session to really understand what you want and any questions you might have. I can offer short-term work if you have a more specific focus or provide longer-term support. If you like the sound of my approach, get in touch to have a free introductory consultation so we can discuss your needs and see if we'd work well together.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited

UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
