About me
Sometimes life brings challenges that leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck confused or alone. In those moments, it can be hard to find clarity or kindness towards yourself. I offer a safe, confidential and non- judgemental space where you can slow down, make sense of what feels tangled, ad begin to process painful or traumatic experiences.
I believe the most important relationship we have is the one we hold with ourselves. Developing self compassion and a sense of inner steadiness is not always easy, especially if you have lived through loss, trauma or long periods of self doubt. My hope is to support you in finding greater peace, resilience and freedom to live the life you long for.
Along side relational, humanistic and integrative therapy, I work with EMDR, an evidence based approach that can help process trauma, intrusive thoughts, anxiety and deeply held negative beliefs, allowing experiences that feel stuck to shift and lose their emotional intensity.
I have had the privilege of working with some amazingly courageous clients; navigating grief, loss, sexual abuse, complex trauma, OCD and intrusive thoughts, anxiety, depression, self harm, eating difficulties, baby loss, family relationship breakdown and the pressures of adolescence. Therapy is always tailored to you and your story.

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.

Further information
I offer EMDR therapy, which is a powerful, scientifically proven approach that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories. Unlike traditional talking therapies, EMDR works directly with the brains natural healing process, to release stuck trauma's/memories, reduce emotional intensity and reframe negative beliefs. Many clients who have experienced EMDR report that the therapy bought them relief from intrusive thoughts, OCD compulsions, PTSD, anxiety, phobia's, low self esteem...... allowing them to live a calmer, happier life fully in the present.
