About me
I am a degree qualified, BACP Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist with extensive experience supporting adults through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. I specialise in online therapy, offering sessions via video, phone, email or text to suit your needs.
Clients often describe me as warm, supportive and easy to talk to yet also direct and focused. Once we agree on a goal, I'm committed to helping you work towards it. I work integratively, drawing from person-centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy CBT, psychodynamic theory and solution-focused approaches to tailor treatment to your individual needs.
Our first session is free, a chance to explore what's brought you to therapy and see whether we are a good fit. You'll do most of the talking while I ask questions to understand your experience more fully. Together, well identify your goals and consider the most effective way forward. There's no obligation to continue unless it feels right for you.
We typically begin by addressing what's happening right now. Many clients arrive feeling anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted or stuck sometimes without knowing exactly why. We’ll focus on what can be shifted quickly to help you feel more in control, including any thoughts or behaviours running on autopilot. If the past is shaping the present, we can explore that too. By uncovering patterns that no longer serve you, we can design a more intentional path forward.
Common issues I work with include anxiety, depression, stress, anger management, bereavement, low self-esteem, men’s issues, and a general sense of being stuck or directionless.
I work with adults, including employee assistance referrals. Therapy is primarily delivered online via video or phone, with options for email or text-based sessions.
With multiple degrees, specialist postgraduate training, and thousands of hours of client work, I bring a depth of knowledge but more importantly, a real commitment to helping you make meaningful change.
Most clients start to notice positive shifts within the first month.

Training, qualifications & experience
Work Experience
I have worked for many years with the UK's National Health Service (NHS). I delivered long term psychodynamic therapy at St Pancreas Hospital and then later, in the Increasing Access to Psychological Therapies scheme delivering targeted, short-term, evidence-based therapies in South London.
I specialise in Online work as this allows me to reach and help a wide and diverse audience, without geography being a constraint. I studied postgraduate to further specialise in Online therapies and coaching and have adapted my style to the video chat and text-based systems used online.
I have now worked with people across multiple continents, time zones, backgrounds, identities and presenting issues.

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.
