About me
I'm an integrative psychotherapist offering confidential therapy for individuals and couples in Liverpool and online across the UK and internationally.
People often come to therapy when something no longer feels sustainable in the way it once did. You may appear capable on the outside whilst privately experiencing anxiety, emotional exhaustion, grief, relationship difficulties, burnout, or feeling disconnected from yourself, the people around you, or the direction your life is taking.
I believe lasting change comes through understanding both what is happening in your life now and the experiences that have shaped you. Therapy isn't about simply managing symptoms or endlessly analysing the past. Together we'll explore patterns, relationships, emotions and beliefs, making sense of where they've come from whilst developing practical ways of moving forward.
My work is informed by Person-Centred, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), alongside trauma-informed practice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness and positive psychology where these approaches feel helpful. This allows therapy to be tailored to you, offering both space for deeper understanding and practical support for whatever you're facing in the present.
I support people through a wide range of experiences and life stages. Areas I commonly work with include anxiety, grief and bereavement, burnout, trauma, relationship difficulties, self-worth, identity, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and periods of feeling stuck or uncertain.
Many of my clients are professionals, creatives, leaders and people in public-facing roles who spend much of their lives carrying responsibility for others whilst quietly managing their own pressures. Therapy offers a confidential space to step away from expectations, slow things down, gain perspective and reconnect with yourself. That said, therapy is open to anyone looking for support and a place to better understand themselves and move forward.
Alongside individual therapy, I also work with couples experiencing communication difficulties, recurring conflict, emotional distance, changes in intimacy, life transitions, or wanting to understand the patterns that keep them feeling stuck with one another. Sessions provide a balanced, supportive and non-judgemental space to strengthen understanding, improve communication and explore new ways of relating together.
I also have a particular interest in supporting women through reproductive and life-stage experiences, including infertility, pregnancy and baby loss, perinatal anxiety, and menopause-related emotional change. These experiences can profoundly affect identity, confidence, relationships and emotional wellbeing, and therapy offers space to process them sensitively and at your own pace.
My style is warm, grounded and quietly direct. I don't believe therapy should feel like being analysed or told how to live your life. My role is to offer a relationship where you can think differently, feel understood, challenge long-standing patterns and gradually build a life that feels more like your own. Sessions are collaborative, thoughtful and gently challenging where needed, creating meaningful change that feels sustainable rather than overwhelming.
Alongside private practice, I design and deliver workplace wellbeing and bereavement training for organisations across the UK and serve as a Trustee for Liverpool Bereavement Service, helping improve access to bereavement support within the community.
Whether you're looking for support with something immediate or wanting to understand longer-standing patterns, I offer both short- and long-term therapy online and in person from Liverpool city centre.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an Accredited Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). My practice is supported by ongoing clinical supervision, continuing professional development, and a commitment to safe, ethical and evidence-informed practice.
My approach is integrative, drawing primarily on Person-Centred, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I also incorporate trauma-informed practice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness and other evidence-informed approaches where they best support the individual or couple in front of me.
Alongside private practice, I design and deliver workplace wellbeing, mental health and bereavement training for organisations across the UK and serve as a Trustee for Liverpool Bereavement Service, helping improve access to bereavement support within the community.
Before retraining as a psychotherapist, I spent over twenty years working within the corporate, fashion and creative industries. Experiencing the pace, visibility and responsibility of those environments has given me a genuine understanding of the pressures many professionals, leaders, creatives and public-facing individuals experience. This perspective continues to inform my work with clients navigating burnout, identity, relationships, grief, career change and the emotional impact of demanding roles.

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 National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. 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
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.

Other areas of counselling I deal with
I work with professionals, creatives, high-profile individuals, and couples navigating pressure, visibility, responsibility, and relationship challenges. My clients often come to therapy around grief, burnout, identity shifts, emotional overwhelm, and the impact of high-performance environments on wellbeing. I also support clients experiencing life and midlife transitions, workplace stress, creative block, perfectionism, and questions around connection and self-worth.
I offer integrative psychotherapy drawing from Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed approaches, alongside mindfulness, schema-informed, positive psychology, and solution-focused approaches. Therapy is collaborative and adaptable — creating space for emotional depth, insight, and meaningful, sustainable change.

Further information
Beginning therapy can feel like a significant step, particularly if you've spent a long time managing things on your own. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, burnout, or simply feel that something no longer feels sustainable, therapy offers a confidential space to pause, reflect and better understand what's happening.
Our work together is collaborative and tailored to your individual needs. We'll explore what's bringing you to therapy at a pace that feels right for you, making sense of thoughts, emotions, relationships and patterns that may no longer be serving you. Alongside developing insight, we may also use practical strategies where appropriate to support meaningful and lasting change.
Confidentiality, professionalism and creating a space where you can speak openly without judgement are at the heart of my practice.
I work with both individuals and couples.
Fees
- Individual Therapy (60 minutes): £75
- Couples Therapy (60 minutes): £110
- Extended sessions are available where clinically appropriate and by prior agreement.
Appointments
- Online: Weekdays, evenings and selected weekends (available throughout the UK and internationally).
- In Person: Liverpool city centre on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Sessions are usually held weekly or fortnightly. In my experience, weekly sessions often provide the greatest continuity at the beginning of therapy, although we will discuss together what feels realistic and sustainable for your circumstances.
If you're unsure whether therapy is the right next step, you're welcome to get in touch. I'm happy to answer any questions before arranging an initial appointment.
I aim to respond to enquiries within 48 working hours (Monday-Saturday) and am currently accepting new clients.
