About me
It can feel like such a leap searching for someone to help, especially when it feels like most therapists seem to be saying the same things. I can identify with that, I found it difficult to know which direction to turn when I needed support and often felt like the profiles I was reading were too similar to be able to make a choice. I hope that, in reading this, you can get a sense of who I am and what I can offer you. If you are struggling to move forward and want to find a way through the darkness so life becomes more managable then I can walk beside you, helping you to feel more empowered.
I specialise in working with survivors of domestic and sexual abuse, creating safety and warmth. It can be common for anyone who has experienced trauma to struggle to trust others; I will always work at your pace as I believe this gives you the space to begin to trust in me and our relationship. I work creatively to meet your needs, respecting individuality.
If you are fearful of making the wrong choice or even just feeling unsure of anything you do at the moment, I would like to encourage you to get in touch with me. That’s the first big step, and I will aim to help; even if you feel I am not the right therapist for you, I may be able to signpost you elsewhere.

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.

Further information
I currently offer both short-term (12 sessions or less) and long-term (not time limited) sessions with individuals.
I offer face-to-face sessions from my private room near Arundel. I endeavour to offer a safe, calm, and confidential space for you to explore your experiences, thoughts and feelings. There is off-street parking and toilet facilities are available.
I also work remotely, offering sessions via video or telephone depending on your preference. Online therapy can sometimes offer more flexibility if life feels busy for you right now.
I am an accredited member of the BACP, adhering to their ethical framework for professional practice and maintain a high level of ongoing professional development to ensure my skills and knowledge are up to date and I practice safely and ethically.
I provide a safe, affirming space for individuals of all identities, including those in the LGBTQ+ community. I specialise in supporting those healing from trauma, domestic abuse, and sexual violence. My approach is trauma-informed and client-centred, allowing us to work together at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Using techniques like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), I help you process and heal from distressing memories, enabling you to regain a sense of control and peace. My goal is to empower you to overcome challenges, strengthen your resilience, and build a healthier future.
I am committed to creating an inclusive, compassionate environment where you can feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Whatever your experience or background, you can expect to be treated with respect, empathy, and a deep commitment to your well-being.
