About me
***I have availability for new clients ***
Hi, I offer both individual & relationship therapy. I have experience across a broad range of issues e.g. anxiety, depression, grief, trauma & as a Relationship Specialist. I'm passionate about helping people resolve the relational problems they are experiencing.
I'm a qualified Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist (CTA) & a registered member of UKCP, BACP & TAANZ. I also help businesses & individuals resolve psychological obstacles that cause work-related problems.
Starting therapy can feel like a bold step, and uncertainty is natural. But it’s also the first step toward the growth, self-discovery, and emotional strength we are all capable of.
I’ll offer a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood in our sessions. We’ll explore what you bring with empathy and without judgment, offering validation and challenge when needed.
Using the therapeutic relationship, we will work together, uncover unhelpful patterns, and develop skills to create meaningful change. Your goals will guide our journey together, whether short or long. The path is yours to shape.

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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
