About me
I am a trauma informed therapist dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey of healing and recovery from trauma, abuse and emotional overwhelm. I provide a safe, compassionate and non judgemental space where clients can explore their experiences, reconnect with themselves and begin to rebuild a sense of safety, confidence and empowerment.
My approach is integrative and tailored to each individual's needs. I combine psychotherapeutic principles with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help clients understand and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, alongside breathwork techniques that support nervous system regulation, emotional release and grounding. Healing involves both the body and mind and I work holistically to support lasting emotional wellbeing.
I understand that trauma can affect every area of life, including relationships, self esteem, anxiety levels and the ability to feel safe or connected. Whether you are recovering from childhood trauma, emotional abuse, domestic violence or difficult life experiences, I offer a supportive therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy and respect.
Psychotherapy provides the opportunity to explore deeper emotional patterns, increase self awareness and create healthier ways of coping and relating.My aim is to help clients move beyond survival mode and towards a life that feels more peaceful, meaningful and authentic. Healing is not about forgetting the past but learning how to move forward with greater understanding, strength and self compassion.
You do not have to face your healing journey alone.

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.
