About me
You’ve Survived So Much. Now It’s Time to Heal.
There’s a point where surviving just isn’t enough anymore.
You’ve done what you had to do to get through the pain — pushed it down, talked yourself out of it, minimized it, kept going when everything inside you was saying stop. That kind of strength is real. But so is the exhaustion that comes with it.
Maybe you don’t trust people easily.
Maybe your body always feels like it’s bracing for something.
Maybe you’ve been in therapy before and felt like no one really got it. Or they were too careful, too clinical, or just… too far away.
I work differently.
I’m an integrative therapist who specializes in trauma. That means I won’t give you a one-size-fits-all approach. I won’t pretend healing is simple or quick. What I will do is show up — fully, honestly, and with deep respect for what you’ve been through.
In our work together, you can expect:
Real talk — no sugarcoating, no hiding behind therapeutic jargon.
A safe, grounded space where you don’t have to explain everything or protect me from your story.
A flexible, integrative approach that meets you where you are — emotionally, somatically, and psychologically.
Focus on your body, mind, and nervous system — because trauma doesn’t just live in thoughts. It lives in your whole being.
A relationship built on honesty, care, and boundaries — the kind that helps you feel seen, heard, and slowly, safely reconnected to yourself.
You are not broken. Your responses make sense.
You’re not "too much." You were hurt.
And healing doesn’t require you to become someone new — it asks you to return to who you were before you had to fight so hard.
If you’re ready for therapy that meets you with truth, not tiptoeing — I’m here.
Trauma-informed. Direct, compassionate, and real.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Pschotherapy.

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.
