About me
I am a BACP registered therapist. I am also accredited by the NCPS and hold Graduate Membership of the British Psychological Society (BPS).
I work individually with Young People and Adults who are hearing or Deaf using English or BSL.
Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, you will be welcomed.
We can work through your worries, challenges or difficult thoughts and feelings, together in a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space.
I understand that starting therapy might feel frightening, and my aim is to help you feel comfortable enough to explore whatever is going on for you at a pace that feels right.
My Background
I am an integrative humanistic therapist, which means I tailor therapy to you as an individual rather than taking a “one size fits all” approach. I believe that being genuinely heard, understood, and accepted can create the conditions for meaningful change, growth, and self-understanding.
As a bilingual therapist working in both British Sign Language (BSL) and English, I offer accessible therapy for Deaf and hearing clients alike. I value open, natural communication and aim to create a space where you can express yourself in the language that feels most comfortable for you.
I work predominantly online, allowing you to access therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own environment wherever you are in the UK.
I have experience supporting people with a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, identity issues, trauma, and life transitions.
My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, and I see therapy as a space for us to work together towards your goals.
