About me
Please Note: I am currently working online or by phone.
You may feel constantly on edge, overwhelmed by emotions, disconnected from yourself, or struggling to trust others. Perhaps you're exhausted from trying to cope alone. Trauma can affect relationships, confidence, work, and everyday life in ways that are difficult to explain.
I work with clients in both the UK and abroad who are looking to process difficulties in their lives, whether recent or historical. It takes courage to acknowledge that you're struggling or that past experiences continue to affect you. Together, we can explore what is keeping you stuck and find ways to help you move forward.
I am committed to providing an inclusive, affirming space for people from all backgrounds and identities. I am an ally to the LGBT+ community and welcome clients of all sexual orientations, gender identities and relationship styles. Whatever your experiences, you will be met with respect, acceptance and without judgement.
I am a specialist in working with trauma, PTSD and complex PTSD. I help clients process some of the most difficult experiences in their lives while developing strategies to regulate emotions, build resilience and create lasting change.
Our work together can help you feel safer and more at ease within yourself, reducing the impact that traumatic memories have on your daily life. As therapy progresses, you may develop greater confidence and self-trust, feel more able to set healthy boundaries, and gain a stronger sense of who you are beyond your experiences. The aim is not to erase the past, but to help you move forward with greater freedom, so that it no longer defines or controls your present.
I use evidence-based trauma therapies tailored to your needs, including approaches that help with emotional regulation, processing traumatic memories and rebuilding confidence after difficult experiences.
I am trained in:
• STAIR (Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation)
• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
• Imagery Rescripting and Reprocessing Therapy (IRRT)
• Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PET)
In addition, I offer:
• Exposure, Relaxation and Rescripting Therapy (ERRT) for nightmares
• Brainspotting
I hold a Diploma in Adlerian Counselling, which means I recognise that encouragement, connection and support are at the heart of lasting change. Adlerian counselling also helps us understand how past experiences may have shaped your beliefs about yourself and others, creating opportunities for greater understanding, growth and self-compassion.
I also hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Traumatology and PTSD.
I provide a confidential, non-judgemental and encouraging space where we can work together at a pace that feels right for you. Before becoming a counsellor, I worked in consultancy and support services and have volunteered in crisis support. This has given me experience of working with people from many different backgrounds, professions and life experiences.
I work with clients seeking support for a wide range of issues, including addiction, anxiety, childhood trauma, disability, dissociation, family difficulties, low confidence and self-esteem, menopause, neurodivergence (ADHD and autism), OCD, personal development, PTSD and complex PTSD, relationship difficulties, sexual assault, stress, suicidal ideation, gender identity and transgender experiences, and trauma.
I have also undertaken additional training in:
• Infant loss
• Bereavement
• Neurodivergence
Finding the right counsellor matters. A free 30-minute consultation gives us the opportunity to discuss what's bringing you to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and see whether working together feels right for you.

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.
