Psychotherapist and Trainee Counselling Psychologist

About me

I am a qualified psychological therapist, and I will soon begin my third and final year of doctoral training in counselling psychology for HCPC practitioner psychologist status. I have a broad and integrative background in psychological therapies, with a core foundation in Relational Psychodynamic and Person-Centred approaches.

I specialise in trauma-informed practice, supporting individuals who have experienced complex childhood experiences and traumatic stress understanding the impact of this helps to inform the problems you might be having today. I currently work in a Medical Trauma setting within the NHS, where I support people living with the psychological impact of physical health events. I also have experience working with trauma using Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), particularly in helping clients manage the lasting effects of early life trauma and PTSD symptoms.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to you, taking into account your life story, your experiences, and what’s meaningful to you. Together, we’ll explore the impact of those experiences and work toward building insight, resilience, and emotional well-being.

I offer a safe, supportive space to navigate life’s challenges, whether that’s anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship difficulties. It takes strength to reach out, and I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey of healing and growth.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
