About me
Hi,
Many thanks for taking this next step,
Some people come knowing exactly what they want to work on. Others just know something needs to change. Both are fine places to start.
If you’re looking for therapy that feels more like talking to a real person than sitting through an assessment, you’ll experience exactly that here. I can say I've spent a long time helping people navigate many presenting problems such as anxiety, depression, OCD, relationships, neurodivergence, family issues, low self esteem or confidence - with genuine conversation.
I start every session with a brew if you’d like one and a chat, not a clipboard. When you arrive, we'll talk as you walk in - about traffic, your day, whatever comes up. I'll put the kettle on. We'll settle in properly before anything else. These aren't just niceties - they're how we create a space where you can actually relax and be yourself.
You won't get someone nodding silently asking "how does that make you feel?" on repeat. Though sometimes that is exactly the right question - my job is knowing what you need in the moment.
The people I help
I work with people experiencing, sadness, fear, anxiety, depression, OCD, and stress. Often these are signs of being overwhelmed by what's happening in your life - relationship struggles, medical challenges (whether you're going through treatment, recovering, or supporting someone who is), menopause, loss, grief. This isn't an exhaustive list. To really know what's going on for you and whether I'm the right fit, we need to have a call together and see.
If you're neurodivergent, I understand that anxiety and depression often come with the territory - the overwhelm from sensory overload, the exhaustion from years of masking, the relationship challenges when the world isn't built for how your brain works. These aren't separate issues, they're connected, and we can work with all of it.
How we'll work together
I've been doing this work - and training other therapists - for a while. What that means for you is I've got a good toolkit and I know when to use what.
Sometimes we'll look backwards to spot patterns or behaviours that need changing (the kind of work you'd recognise as CBT). Sometimes it's about sitting with what's happening right now. Sometimes we skip the past entirely and focus on moving forward. I don't stick rigidly to one approach because you're not a one-size-fits-all person.
The relationship between us is the foundation. But within that, I bring real skill and experience to help you actually get somewhere different. There's often laughter in sessions. And difficult feelings. Both matter.
About investment
Therapy costs money, so you deserve to know it's worthwhile. You're paying for someone who genuinely wants to help you move forward and has the experience to make that happen. We'll do proper work together - whether that's me offering a challenge, a different perspective, or simply being with you through something difficult. What it won't be is me passively nodding along.
Getting started
If this sounds right for you, email me and we'll arrange a call to see if we're a good fit. It's just a conversation - nothing to feel apprehensive about. I'm always welcoming, and this first step is just about you getting a sense of whether I feel right for what you need.
No therapy-speak. No formality. Just a friendly chat to see if we should work together.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have experience in many presenting issues. The 'tick box' list below doesn't always resonate with individuals. Some people have one presenting issue that causes a number of other issues. Therefore, if you feel you'd like to explore a little further what I can offer, please email me and we'll arrange a call.

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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
