About me
I understand that finding yourself on this page means that life is probably feeling difficult right now. You might be feeling anxious, sad, overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself. Maybe you're overthinking, questioning your worth, finding relationships hard, or struggling to make sense of why you feel this way?
If this is where you find yourself now, I want to acknowledge the discomfort and courage it's taken for you to arrive on this page. Starting (or returning to) therapy can feel like a big decision, but I also know from personal experience that it can be one of the best gifts you can give yourself.
I work with women who are navigating anxiety, sadness or overwhelm. These feelings might relate to questions of self worth, relationship challenges, a life transition, loss, sense of burn out or something you can't quite put your finger on yet.
As an Integrative Therapist, I draw from different approaches tailored to you and your goals for therapy.
At the heart of my practice is the understanding that we are all, moving towards growth even if at times we feel disconnected or unsure of how to move forward. Therapy offers you a space to reconnect with that inner direction.
Together, we can begin to understand the relationship you have with yourself and with others by paying attention to the impact of early relationships, unconscious patterns, cultural values and the protective ways you have learned to cope.
By understanding the link between your past and present, thoughts, feelings, and behaviours we can work on building your self-compassion and self trust to carry you through the challenges of every day life.
This way of working considers you as a whole person. Together, we will find a balance in processing what feels hard while building on your strengths.
Whether we meet in person or online, my aim is to offer you a calm and compassionate space to slow down and process your experiences. So that you can develop a greater sense of inner clarity which enables you to live a life that feels authentically aligned with your values.

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I have an additional interest in working with people who have moved from where they were born, this could be across continents, countries or cities. This comes from lived experience and understanding for how our cultural background impacts our sense of identity and belonging.
