About me
I've worked through the NHS & independently with: childhood trauma, self-esteem, identity, cultural & LGBTQ+ issues. I also work with general depression & anxiety. I am highly experienced in working with PTSD from sexual & psychological abuse.
I am an Integrative Therapist, meaning I adapt my practice to reflect your needs. We all need time to reflect on and heal from life's experiences and, in doing so, create space to reach our full potential. As your therapist, you will find me warm, encouraging, and engaging.
My approach:
I work with all issues through the lens of relationships (most importantly the relationship with self) for it is through them that we form our identity and sense of self. I also see that our formative experiences and relationships inform who we are. When these experiences and relationships feel unhealthy or unhelpful, they can cause conflict between the way we feel about and see ourselves and the way we want to feel and be seen. Through our work, we will explore and make sense of these experiences to identify negative thought patterns, narratives, and internalised beliefs about self. We will then understand where you want to see change and together make that change a reality.
Your first session:
We will explore what has brought you to therapy, your expectations and what you need from me as your therapist.
We will agree on an initial goal to be revisited throughout our work.

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.
