About me
I hold a Master’s degree (MA) in Integrative Psychotherapy, am fully qualified and a member of UKCP. I’m also a registered member of MBACP, and my clinical experience spans private practice, education and community mental health.
In my practice, I provide a stable, calm and confidential space where you can speak freely. You might feel under pressure, angry, wronged, hurt, ashamed, confused or unsure of yourself. Some people find it easy to open up; for others, trust takes a little longer.
I’ll listen carefully, ask questions, notice patterns and, at times, challenge you, but I won’t tell you what to do or assume that I know what’s best. I’ll help you make sense of what has happened, rebuild resilience and consider what might come next, including finding closure, healing or acceptance where possible.
What you can expect:
- A complimentary, informal 20-minute conversation to see whether we feel well suited to work together.
- A regular weekly day and time that we agree together.
- 50-minute sessions.
- Therapy is individual; some benefit from a few focused sessions, while others prefer longer-term work. I offer both.
- I work with individuals aged 16 and over.
My work supports those experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, self-doubt, relationship difficulties; grief; parenting; trauma; and other significant personal and professional transitions.
I encourage you to speak with a few therapists before choosing one. If you’d like to know more about how I work, or see whether we might work well together, please do get in touch.

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.
Accredited register membership

Further information
Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent many years in the corporate world, becoming a Partner at a global management consultancy while raising a young family. I understand first-hand the pressures of demanding work and the complexities of balancing career, relationships and family life.
