About me
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or facing a significant life change. Perhaps you're struggling with anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, burnout, or a sense that you've lost connection with yourself. You may be finding it difficult to cope with life's demands, feeling exhausted from carrying so much on your own, or unsure how to move forward.
I offer a warm, compassionate and collaborative space where we can explore what is happening for you and make sense of difficult experiences at a pace that feels right for you.
Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in ways of coping that no longer serve them. Through our work together, therapy can support you to develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself, gain clarity about patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and feel more able to make choices that reflect who you are and what matters to you.
I believe meaningful change happens within a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship, where you feel heard, understood and accepted.
I offer online therapy across the UK and limited in-person appointments in central Oxford.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified integrative counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
My approach is grounded in humanistic values and informed by psychodynamic thinking. This means I adapt therapy to your individual needs while also exploring how past experiences may be influencing your present relationships, emotions and ways of coping.
Alongside my private practice, I have experience supporting adults across bereavement, mental health, healthcare and educational settings. I have worked with people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, low confidence, stress, identity questions, and significant life transitions.
My Master's degree in Health Psychology deepened my understanding of the close relationship between emotional wellbeing, physical health and the nervous system. This informs my understanding of how stress, loss and emotional distress can affect many aspects of our lives.
I undertake regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development in line with BACP ethical requirements.
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.

Further information
I have a particular interest in supporting people through bereavement, anxiety, burnout, midlife transitions, menopause, and the emotional impact of receiving a later-life neurodiversity diagnosis, such as ADHD.
I also work with students, academics and professionals managing pressure, perfectionism, or demanding life circumstances.
Starting therapy can feel like a significant step, and it is important that you feel comfortable with the person you choose to work with. I offer a free 15-minute introductory conversation, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, learn more about how I work, and decide whether therapy with me feels right for you.
Online sessions are available throughout the UK. In-person sessions are available on Thursday mornings in central Oxford, within easy reach of the train station and local parking.
