About me
You may appear capable and composed to other people, while privately feeling anxious or overwhelmed. Perhaps your mind is difficult to quieten, or you find yourself going over things that have happened and worrying about what might happen next. At times, the anxiety may feel more immediate, bringing panic or a sense of dread. Living with this can be exhausting, particularly when others have no idea how much effort it takes.
You do not need to know exactly what is wrong or how to explain it before coming to therapy. We can begin with whatever has been happening and gradually make sense of it together.
I am an integrative therapist and have worked therapeutically since 2020. I support adults with anxiety, panic, overthinking, trauma, childhood adversity, overwhelm, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, low self-worth and relationship difficulties.
I am an active and engaged therapist. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions and offer reflections to help you separate one concern from another, understand your reactions and see possibilities that are difficult to recognise when anxiety is high. Where helpful, I will gently challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck, with care, curiosity and respect.
Our work can combine practical support for anxiety now with a deeper exploration of what lies beneath it. Anxiety rarely appears from nowhere. It may be connected to criticism, emotional neglect, instability, difficult relationships or having to become responsible too soon. Overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing or staying constantly alert may once have protected you, but may now leave you depleted.
I tailor therapy to you, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic, attachment-based, CBT-informed and trauma-informed approaches. The aim is not simply to cope better, but to understand yourself more deeply, feel calmer and have more choice in how you respond.
I hold a BSc (Hons) in Cognitive Science and a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I am a member of the BACP and work within its Ethical Framework. I offer confidential online therapy to adults throughout the UK.

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.
