About me
I'm a somatic psychotherapist with fifteen years experience working with anxiety, trauma and relationship difficulties. Somatic psychotherapy works with the body as well as the mind, because our earliest experiences, our relational wounds, and our survival patterns don't just live in our thoughts. They live in the nervous system, in physical tension, in the way we hold ourselves, in the way we respond before we even have time to think.
My work is relational, body-led, and paced to meet you where you are. We follow your body's signals alongside your words, working gently with what's underneath including early relational wounds, the inner critic, and the parts of you that learned to survive by staying small or staying safe.
If you’ve tried therapy in the past and found that certain patterns keep resurfacing, it’s often because traditional talk therapy doesn’t fully address the body and nervous system, where emotional memory and stress are stored. By including these missing pieces, I work with the root causes of your struggles, not just the surface symptoms.
For insights and practices on nervous system regulation and inner child healing, you can find me on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.
What I offer
I offer a combination of talk therapy, nervous system healing and body based somatic therapy for effective emotional healing. This approach allows you to develop a greater understanding of your emotional responses, patterns and triggers. I also integrate embodiment practices to calm your nervous system and bring you back into balance and connection with yourself.
How I work
I offer a confidential space to explore and resolve past experiences and current situations so you can be free of daily struggle, regulate your nervous system and step into your authentic self.
The first step is to set up a free call to talk through what you need help with and to see if we're a good fit to work together. You can book the call now through the introductory call link.

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.
