About me
I did not become a therapist for no reason, and I know what it's like to experience anxiety, shame and self-hate, and to deeply believe of not being enough and to truly believe that others think that too. Therapy only started working when I found a therapist with whom I felt seen, heard and felt with, and who understood what it's like to be ADHD. I am passionate about my work. I show up as human being first and a therapist second. I am down-to-earth, honest, and compassionate. If life feels too much, you don't have to face it alone. I am here to walk alongside you to help you as you find your way back, or maybe for the first time, to your true self.
Together we'll work on transforming your critical inner voice and how you view yourself. The work might include parts work, compassion-focused and experiential approaches. Sometimes we'll need to bypass our logical mind to access emotional healing. We'll honour your past coping while developing new pathways to self-acceptance. All parts of you are welcomed in therapy.
If you are struggling with self-esteem, self-hate, or feeling like you're not enough. You're not alone - and finding the right connection can be life changing. I offer a free 15-minute no pressure intro call, so you can get a sense of who I am and how I work. It is an opportunity to see if we feel like a good fit. This is a possible beginning for change!

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.
