About me
Do you ever feel like your mind is so busy it might explode? Like you live in a constant state of worry and stress? Maybe relaxation feels impossible, or self-care leaves you feeling guilty instead of refreshed. Do you feel like your own worst enemy at times? Able to give time, care and compassion to others yet struggle to offer the same to yourself? I understand how difficult and lonely it can be to feel this way, but you are not alone and therapy can help.
I have a true passion for helping people escape the grip of anxiety, overwhelm and low self-esteem. As an Integrative Therapist, I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, drawing from Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In our sessions, I offer a kind, safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where we can work together to:
- Explore difficult thoughts and emotions
- Identify triggers and patterns
- Develop effective coping strategies
- Build self-compassion
all at a pace that feels right for you.
If you’re interested in working together or finding out more, please get in touch to arrange a free 15-minute phone consultation where we can discuss your needs and how therapy might support you.

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.
