About me
Life can feel overwhelming at times – whether you’re coping with anxiety, the impact of trauma, or simply feeling stuck - in yourself, in a job, in a relationship. I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can explore what’s happening, make sense of your experiences, and find new ways forward.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. I draw on cutting-edge trauma‑informed methods – including somatic and mindfulness-based approaches, Internal Family Systems (IFS), sound therapy, and evidence‑based therapies – to support healing, resilience, and reconnection with yourself.
I work with adults of all ages, and I welcome people from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds. Having lived and worked across the UK and France, I bring a cross‑cultural perspective that helps me attune to different life experiences and identities.
How I can help
You might be:
- Feeling anxious, low, or overwhelmed
- Living with the effects of trauma or PTSD
- Struggling with being yourself in the world
- Coping with loss, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions
- Wanting to feel more grounded, confident, and connected
Together, we’ll work at your pace. Some clients come to me for short‑term support around a specific issue; others choose longer‑term therapy to explore deeper patterns and create lasting change.
My approach
- Integrative: I combine somatic, creative, and cognitive methods, adapting to what works best for you.
- Collaborative: Therapy is a partnership – I’ll listen closely, offer gentle guidance, and support you in finding your own way forward.
- Trauma‑informed: I integrate leading trauma-informed approaches to help calm your nervous system and restore a sense of safety.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an accredited psychotherapist and counsellor (MBACP) with over two decades of experience helping people find their way through the challenges of life and various mental health issues. My core training is clinical and psychodynamic with a specialism in trauma.
I have trained in methods that help regulate the nervous system and restore a sense of safety, including somatic approaches, Internal Family Systems (IFS), sound therapy and mindfulness‑based practices. This means I can adapt our work together to what feels most supportive for you – whether that’s exploring patterns from the past, working with the body, or finding practical tools for everyday life.
I also bring experience from outside the therapy room. Having worked in legal and corporate settings, I understand the pressures of high‑responsibility roles, workplace stress, and the challenges of balancing professional and personal life. This perspective allows me to meet clients who are new to therapy with sensitivity, practicality, and respect for the realities they face.
Alongside my private practice, I have worked in charities, coaching, and cross‑cultural settings in both the UK and France. These experiences have deepened my ability to meet people from diverse backgrounds with sensitivity and respect.
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.
