About me
Therapy for relationship difficulties, anxiety and people pleasing
You might find yourself putting others first, struggling to say what you really feel, or falling into the same patterns in your relationships again and again.
On the outside, it may seem like you're coping - but inside it can feel confusing, frustrating and emotionally draining.
I offer a calm, supportive space where you can begin to make sense of these patterns and understand why they keep showing up. Together we can explore what's going on beneath the surface, and help you feel more confident, more secure, and better able to express yourself in your relationships.
I work with adults and young people from secondary school age upwards, and I particularly enjoy supporting people who feel stuck in relationship patterns they don't fully understand.
What you might be experiencing
You may recognise some of the following:
- finding it hard to say how you really feel or what you need
- worrying about how others see you
- overthinking conversations or interactions
- prioritising others, even if it leaves you feeling drained
- feeling anxious or insecure in relationships
- repeating the same patterns in relationships, even when you really want things to be different
If any of this feels familiar, you are not alone, and it's something that we can work through together.
How I work
My approach to my work is warm, collaborative and non-judgemental. My aim is to crate a space where you can feel safe to talk openly, at your own pace. Together we'll explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences to build a clearer picture of what is happening for you. Sometimes these patterns have deeper roots, which we can gently explore if and when it feels right for you.
Clients I work with often begin to
- feel less overwhelmed by their thoughts
- understand themselves more clearly
- feel more confident in acknowledging and expressing their own needs
- experience healthier, more balanced relationships
Starting Counselling
Reaching out for support can feel like a big step.
An initial session gives you the opportunity to meet me, talk about what's been going on, and get a sense of whether counselling with me feels right for you.
There is no pressure to continue, just space to explore things at your own pace. If you decide to go ahead, we can arrange regular sessions in a way that suits you.
Get in touch
If you're considering counselling, you're very welcome to contact me to arrange an initial session or ask any questions.

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.
