About me
I offer a confidential, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and supported. I currently provide online therapy sessions for individuals and couples, with weekday and evening appointments available. My last session each day is at 8:00 PM (20:00).
As a qualified and accredited integrative therapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I bring 30 years of experience supporting adults, couples, children, and families. I am also a qualified child play therapist and have worked extensively with vulnerable individuals.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or emotionally numb. Perhaps you recognise certain patterns in your life that you wish to change.
- Do you want to feel happier, healthier, and more confident?
- Do you struggle with loss, significant life changes, or unresolved past trauma?
- Do you find it difficult to develop healthy relationships or break free from negative patterns?
- Do you feel unseen, unheard, or misunderstood?
Through therapy, you can begin to understand yourself more deeply, process emotions, and rebuild self-confidence. The therapeutic relationship provides a safe, accepting space where you can explore your experiences without fear of judgment. Releasing emotions in this way can lead to profound and positive changes in your life.
I believe that you already have the capacity for change. My role is to support and guide you on your journey to self-discovery 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.
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
For individuals struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety-related symptoms, I offer Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) therapy—the most effective treatment for OCD. In my experience, clients often experience significant reductions in anxiety levels and OCD symptoms within a relatively short time frame.
