About me
Currently open to taking on student counsellors for personal therapy and Supervisees at a heavily reduced rate. Limited spaces available*
I am a trauma and attachment therapist, working therapeutically with adults, children, young people and families. My experience and areas of training include domestic abuse and the impact of substance use, inner child recovery and internal family systems.
I have experience in helping clients recover from stress, low mood and anxiety, relationship issues, childhood trauma and abuse, motivation issues, self esteem, and confidence.
I specialise in working with adoption, and looked after children and children who have experienced sexual abuse and exhibit harmful sexual behaviour.
I am also a qualified equine assisted therapist and therapeutic riding coach.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

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.
