About me
Since 2011, I have supported adults through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, including anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, LGBTQ+ issues, bereavement, identity questions, family estrangement, and the pressures faced by unpaid carers. My approach is warm, inclusive, and nonjudgmental, providing a safe space where you can feel heard and supported.
I take a collaborative, compassionate approach, helping clients explore emotions, patterns, and experiences in a way that feels safe and manageable. Together, we work towards greater self-understanding, healthier coping strategies, and lasting emotional well-being.
I also offer EMDR and Rewind Therapy, which can help process trauma, anxiety, panic, phobias, intrusive memories, and low self-esteem. These therapies support the brain in reprocessing difficult experiences, reducing distress, building confidence, and fostering long-term healing and growth.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
