About me
Life is dynamic and as such we must, at various stages of our lives, transform in order to grow and cope with the spectrum of experiences that we will encounter. The many difficulties (and potential traumas) of childhood can play major roles in our adult life, often without us being consciously aware of their influence. Unexamined habits and outdated thought patterns can cause havoc in our day-to-day lives and can really affect our relationships with ourselves and others. These difficulties and traumas can manifest as blockages to our potential. My aim is to assist you in locating these blocks, to understand them and to work through them to help unlock the positive potential within you.
As a dedicated psychotherapist registered with BACP, NCPS, and Addiction Professionals, I bring extensive experience and a deeply compassionate approach to my practice. My commitment to creating a safe, trusting therapeutic space where every individual feels genuinely heard has been the cornerstone of my work throughout my career.
My specialist areas include substance misuse, problematic drinking, and behavioural addictions such as sex addiction and problematic pornography use. I work extensively with survivors of domestic abuse, both male and female, and have a particular passion for supporting individuals who feel marginalised or unheard in society.
As an integrative practitioner, I don't believe that one size fits all. I draw from various therapeutic modalities to tailor the therapeutic process to the individual sitting in front of me, ensuring that our work together resonates with your specific needs and circumstances. My trauma-informed approach recognises the profound impact that past experiences can have on present-day functioning and relationships, and I work collaboratively with clients to create pathways toward healing at a pace that feels right for them.
Above all, I'm committed to creating a safe, trusting space where you can feel genuinely heard. If you seek compassionate guidance and a therapist who values meeting you exactly where you are, I welcome you to reach out. Whether you're struggling with addiction, processing trauma, or working through relationship difficulties, my approach centres on supporting you through your journey towards healing and growth.

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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
