About me
I work with clients in my Kings Hill, Kent practice and online, alongside facilitating group programmes in residential treatment centres. I have extensive experience supporting individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction.
Do you sometimes feel stuck and conflicted? For example, one part of you might want you to take a risk and try something new, while another part feels scared and wants to keep you safe by avoiding it.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy sees these parts as trying to help you in their own ways - even when they pull you in opposite directions. Therapy helps you understand each part’s fears and intentions so they can work together instead of battling inside you.
It is particularly helpful with trauma and addiction because it gently uncovers the parts of you that carry emotional pain or try to cope with pain through problematic behaviours. By working with these parts, you can reduce inner conflict, heal emotional wounds, and create healthier ways to cope.
What clients often love about IFS is that it:
- Helps you feel more aligned and less conflicted
- Guides you through healing of emotional pain in a safe, gentle way
- Encourages genuine self-understanding and compassion
- Creates lasting change by transforming the parts of you that feel stuck
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of therapy that helps you make sense of your inner world by seeing it as a collection of different “parts” - each with its own feelings, needs, and intentions. Instead of seeing your reactions as random or “too much,” IFS helps you get to know these parts of yourself, explore why they show up, and understand how to work with them, not against them.
I have Professional Liability Insurance and DBS clearance. I am a voluntary member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy). This means I adhere to their code of ethics and professional standards. I undergo regular supervision and engage in CPD (Continuing Professional Development), to ensure I am providing the best service possible to my clients.

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.
