About me
I work exclusively online with adults across the UK, so you can access therapy from wherever you are. For many people, attending sessions from a familiar environment can make therapy feel more comfortable and accessible.
You may not think of what you've experienced as trauma. But if you've spent years feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted 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 constantly on edge. Maybe you struggle to switch off, find yourself people-pleasing or overthinking, or keep wondering why the same patterns continue to show up in your relationships.
As a trauma counsellor, I understand that these responses are not necessarily signs that something is wrong with you. Often, they are ways your mind and nervous system have adapted 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 may continue to influence your present. Rather than asking, "What's wrong with me?", we'll begin to ask, "What happened to me?" and, importantly, "What do I need now?"
Therapy isn't about fixing you. It's about understanding what has shaped you, developing greater awareness of your responses and, over time, moving beyond survival towards a life that feels calmer, more connected and more like your own.
Training, qualifications & experience
My approach is grounded in an understanding of trauma, attachment and the brain-body connection, with a particular interest in developmental trauma and nervous system regulation. I help clients unravel and make sense of why they think, feel and respond in the ways they do.
I work with adults from all backgrounds, including women, men and young adults, supporting difficulties such as trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-worth and relationship difficulties.
I also have a particular interest in men's mental health, especially supporting men who may have spent years believing they need to cope alone, struggle to express their emotions or feel disconnected from themselves.
I’m passionate about creating a space where you can talk openly without judgement or pressure to simply “get on with it”. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you don't understand, or exhausted from living in survival mode. Together, we can slow things down, become curious about what’s happening and develop a deeper understanding of yourself with greater compassion.
Alongside counselling, I’m a qualified Integral Eye Movement Technique (IEMT) practitioner and have completed an Advanced Diploma in Trauma. IEMT is a gentle, non-disclosure approach that focuses on your present-day emotional experience, without requiring you to revisit or describe traumatic memories in detail.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of evidence-informed approaches, tailoring therapy to you and working collaboratively at a pace that feels safe.
Some of my experience supporting clients is with bereavement, narcissistic abuse, domestic and emotional abuse, anxiety, low self-esteem, body image concerns and developmental trauma.
I welcome clients from all backgrounds and believe therapy should be a place where you feel respected, accepted and understood. Our family dynamics, relationships, culture and wider social experiences can all shape our mental health and the way we understand ourselves. These are important parts of your story, and there is space for them in our work together.
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.
