About me
Therapy is one of many tools that can support healing, growth, and reconnection. I don't believe therapists have all the answers, but I do believe in creating a space where you can explore your experiences with care, curiosity, and compassion.
If you've ever felt misunderstood, disconnected from yourself, or as though you've had to shrink parts of who you are to be accepted, therapy can offer an opportunity to be met differently. I aim to create a space where all parts of you are welcome, and where your experiences, relationships, culture, identity, and history can be explored safely and without judgement.
As an integrative therapist with a strong interest in trauma-informed and somatic approaches, I understand that not everything can be expressed through words alone. Together, we may explore thoughts, emotions, body sensations, breath, and patterns of relating that can help deepen understanding and support change.
I have a particular interest in working with issues around identity, belonging, neurodivergence, burnout, trauma, and self-connection. My practice is informed by an awareness of culture, power, and the wider systems that shape our lives, while always remaining focused on your unique experience.
Above all, I see therapy as a collaborative process. How we work together will depend on what feels most supportive for you in the present moment.

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 provide both short and long-term therapy. I usually recommend starting with six weekly sessions minimum and then reviewing if you'd like to continue into longer term work after those first six sessions. We can discuss the planned duration of our work together during our initial session.
Returning clients, welcome to book in drop in sessions.
Initial Call: Free 15 minute call for a brief, gentle phone or video chat to answer any questions, explore what brings you to therapy, and see if we feel like a good fit to work together.
