About me
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in old relationship patterns, or held back by low self-worth, you are not alone. I work with women (18+) and young women (14–17) who want to understand themselves more deeply, heal what’s been hurting for a long time, and grow into a more confident, grounded version of themselves.
With over seven years’ experience in both private practice and NHS work, my approach blends practical tools for managing anxiety, overwhelm, and the challenges of neurodivergence with space to explore the deeper roots beneath your struggles. Together, we look at what’s happening now as well as the patterns shaped by your past, helping you create lasting change that feels safe, steady, and supportive.
My areas of special interest include:
Anxiety and emotional overwhelm
ADHD, autism, and the pressures that often come alongside neurodivergence
Rebuilding self-esteem and confidence
Attachment wounds, relationship difficulties, and recovering from abusive dynamics
Life transitions, including perimenopause and menopause
I base my work around Unconditional Self-Acceptance (USA), a powerful approach that helps you move away from harsh self-criticism and toward a kinder, more compassionate relationship with yourself. My clients often say they feel seen, understood, and gently supported in a way that helps them open up, reflect, and grow. My warmth and sense of humour help us navigate even the heavier topics with care.
Outside of therapy, I’m mostly at home tending to my jungle of a few hundred houseplants or immersed in studying forensic psychology, two things that keep me curious about what helps people grow through even the most difficult conditions. Tending to plants has taught me that growth is never rushed, it’s nurtured. With the right conditions, change becomes possible for all of us. If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself and create a life where you can genuinely thrive, I would be honoured to walk alongside you.

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.
