About me
There are times when life feels overwhelming, confusing, or simply too much to manage alone. I offer a calm, confidential space to talk things through and find a way forward - whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, or a sense of being stuck.
With over 20 years’ experience supporting people through conflict, stress, and change in my work as a senior leader and lawyer, I bring a calm and practical understanding to my psychotherapy practice, providing a warm, reflective, and confidential space to explore underlying thoughts and feelings, with the aim of fostering insight and lasting change.
Many of the people I have worked with are deeply relied upon in roles where focus and responsibility are expected every day, yet privately feel stretched, overwhelmed, or disconnected. My aim is to build a trusting relationship where you feel safe, supported, and understood. We can explore what’s brought you to therapy - whether that’s stress, anxiety, or the impact of past experiences and relationships. By gently noticing patterns in how you think, feel, and relate to others, we can bring them into awareness so they no longer quietly influence your life. Over time, many clients not only regain their balance, but also begin to reconnect with their energy, creativity, and sense of purpose.
Reaching out for help can feel daunting, especially if you’re used to managing things on your own. It’s normal to feel unsure - we can take those first steps together. Whether you’re new to therapy or looking for a fresh approach, you’re welcome to book an introductory call or get in touch by email.

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.
