About me
Are you ready to heal your past and create a new future?
Life doesn't come with a roadmap, and sometimes you find yourself tangled in patterns that hold you back. Anxiety creeping in. Relationships feeling complicated. That spark of purpose seeming just out of reach. And it can sometimes be difficult to know what to do and how to make changes.
I offer a compassionate, person centred and integrative approach to counselling that goes beyond traditional talk therapy, to support you discover and work with the challenges in your life.
I specialise in helping people to transform and understand complex patterns in their lives and emotions such as fear, anxiety, stress, guilt, anger and depression.
My holistic approach can help you unlock your inner potential, heal trauma, reset your nervous system, deepen self-awareness and create a new sense of self.
I provide tailored therapy sessions that address your unique experiences and challenges. My trauma-informed practice blends multiple therapeutic techniques, including:
- Psychotherapeutic counselling
- Nervous system regulation
- Breath work
- Imagery techniques
- Psycho-education
- Shamanic healing strategies
Understanding Your Inner World: Most of our behaviours are driven by unconscious patterns formed early in life. Often making it hard to consciously access these deep-rooted experiences. I therefore use specialised techniques to help you:
- Uncover hidden behavioural and emotional blueprints
- Access thought processes and patterns
- Understand how past experiences impact your present
- Navigate inner sensations, images, and emotions
I support clients in working with:
- Anxiety and depression
- Emotional regulation and expression
- Relationship challenges
- Self-esteem issues
- Trauma recovery
- Stress management
- Spiritual growth
- Work-related problems
- Life transitions
Every journey is unique. Whether you're facing specific challenges or seeking overall personal growth, I'm here to support your transformation.

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.

Clients based near Carlisle in Cumbria can decide if they'd prefer an online or in-person session.

Booking an appointment
Prior to booking an appointment we would arrange a time to discuss your needs over the telephone. This is a free no obligation conversation and usually takes about 15 minutes. We can then decide if we'd like to work together and if I'm the right person to support you.
After your first session you can decide if you would like to continue working with me; if you choose to continue, we will think about what will work best for you and meet your needs.
As I work on deep levels my clients tend to enjoy a longer term provision.
