About me
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or alone? You don’t have to face it by yourself.
I’m a compassionate, experienced psychotherapist, dedicated to helping you navigate life’s challenges with warmth and understanding. Whether you’re struggling with ADHD, hormonal mental health (PMDD, menopause, POI), grief, anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, depression, or relationship issues, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your emotions without judgment.
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—I tailor my approach to your unique needs, drawing from different therapeutic methods to support you in a way that truly fits you. Together, we’ll identify patterns, manage triggers, and build resilience, helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
I know reaching out can feel daunting, which is why I offer a free 15-minute consultation. Sessions are available online, by phone, or in person, so you can access support in a way that works for you. You deserve to feel heard, valued, and supported—I’m here when you’re ready.

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.
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.
