About me

Welcome to your safe space for Healing and Self-Discovery.

Life has a way of bringing old wounds to the surface, often in ways we don’t recognise at first. The patterns we repeat in relationships, the emotions that feel overwhelming, and the deep need for control can all be traced back to experiences from our past.

As a psychodynamic counsellor, my role is to help you gently explore these connections, recognise childhood traumas, and begin the process of healing.

Together, we will work to break unhealthy relationship patterns, learn to let go of what you cannot control, and shift the focus inward, toward self-love and self-reflection. You’ll gain tools to regulate your emotions, grieve unmet needs, and practice voicing your needs with confidence. Through this journey, you’ll also learn to establish healthy boundaries and, most importantly, cultivate a kinder, more compassionate relationship with yourself.

Healing isn’t about erasing the past it’s about understanding it, finding peace, and moving forward with greater self-awareness and emotional freedom.

If you’re ready to begin this journey, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
