About me
Anxiety doesn't always begin in adulthood.
Perhaps you've spent years wondering why you worry so much, overthink everything, or find it difficult to relax. You may feel like you're constantly on alert, expecting something to go wrong, even when life appears to be going well.
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.
You overthink conversations, find it difficult to relax, struggle to say no, or constantly feel responsible for everyone else. On the outside, people think you’re coping. Inside, you’re exhausted.
Sometimes anxiety isn’t just about what’s happening today.
It can develop from growing up in an environment where you didn’t feel emotionally safe, where you had to walk on eggshells, hide your feelings, or become the responsible one. Those experiences can leave lasting patterns that continue into adult life—even when life looks very different now.
As a trauma-informed integrative counsellor, I specialise in working with adults experiencing anxiety and the lasting effects of difficult childhood experiences.
Together we’ll explore not only what’s happening today, but also where these patterns began. My aim isn’t simply to help you manage anxiety, but to understand it, reduce its hold on your life, break unhelpful patterns and help you feel calmer, more confident and more in control of your life.
I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you don’t have to pretend you’re coping. We work at your pace, helping you make sense of your experiences and move towards lasting change.
I can help if you...
Constantly overthink everything.
Feel anxious for no obvious reason.

While anxiety and difficult childhood experiences are my main areas of practice, I also support clients experiencing low mood, relationship difficulties, family issues and significant life changes.

What clients say
"I would like to thank you for helping me out of a very dark hole. Looking back things were a bit messed up when we met!
I have benefitted so much from my sessions with you and can say I am in a much better place now. I often look back at what we talked about and can make more sense of things. Things don’t seem so stark."

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.
