About me
I work exclusively online with adults throughout the UK. Online therapy offers the flexibility to access support wherever you are, allowing you to attend sessions from the comfort of your own space, where many people naturally feel safer and more relaxed.
You may not think of what you've experienced as trauma. But if you've spent years feeling anxious, overwhelmed or wondering why you react the way you do, there may be more to your story than you realise.
Perhaps you've always been the one who copes, yet underneath you feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted or constantly on edge. Maybe you struggle to switch off, find yourself people pleasing, overthinking, or wondering why the same patterns keep showing up in your relationships.
As a trauma counsellor, I understand that many of these responses are not signs that something is wrong with you. Often, they are your mind and nervous system adapting to experiences that once required you to survive.
If you're looking for a genuine, down-to-earth therapeutic relationship, you're in the right place. Together, we'll make sense of your experiences with curiosity and compassion, exploring how your past continues to influence your present. Rather than asking, "What's wrong with me?", we'll begin to ask, "What happened to me?" and, more importantly, "What do I need now?"
My work is grounded in an understanding of trauma, attachment and the brain-body connection. I have a particular interest in men's mental health, developmental trauma and nervous system regulation, helping clients understand why they think, feel and respond the way they do. Therapy isn't about fixing you; it's about helping you move beyond survival and towards a life that feels calmer, more connected and more like your own.
Alongside counselling, I am a qualified Integral Eye Movement Technique (IEMT) practitioner and have completed an Advanced Diploma in Trauma. I draw on a range of evidence-informed approaches, tailoring therapy to your individual needs and working at a pace that feels safe for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
My work is grounded in an understanding of trauma, attachment and the nervous system. I have a particular interest in developmental trauma and helping people understand how past experiences continue to influence their emotions, relationships and sense of self.
I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-worth and relationship difficulties. I also have a particular interest in supporting men who may have spent years believing they need to cope alone, find it difficult to express their emotions, or feel disconnected from themselves. I am passionate about creating a space where men feel able to talk openly, often for the first time, without fear of judgement or the pressure to "get on with it". Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they don't understand, or exhausted from living in survival mode.
Alongside counselling, I am a qualified Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) practitioner. IEMT is a gentle, non-disclosure approach, meaning you do not need to revisit or describe traumatic memories in detail. It can help reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories and is effective for difficulties including trauma, anxiety, grief and PTSD.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor therapy to you, working collaboratively at a pace that feels safe while helping you make sense of your experiences and understand how your mind, body and nervous system have adapted to protect you.
I have experience supporting clients with bereavement, narcissistic abuse, domestic abuse, anxiety, low self-esteem, body image concerns, emotional abuse and developmental trauma. This is not an exhaustive list, so if you're unsure whether I can help, please get in touch for an informal conversation.
I welcome clients from all backgrounds and believe therapy should be a place where you feel respected, accepted and understood. I recognise that our family dynamics, relationships, culture and wider social experiences all influence our mental health and the way we come to understand ourselves.
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.
