About me
If you start therapy with me, we will start "here and now", focusing on practical skills and dealing with overthinking, anxiety and coping with difficult situations.
Are you looking to change self-destructive habits? Be kinder to yourself? Do you want to understand why certain thoughts are bothering you? I specialise in working with young adults who deal with anxiety, depression, self-harm or have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. I have experience working with neurodivergent clients and I am happy to offer adjustments to make therapy accessible.
My main framework is systemic family therapy, which looks at how relationships may influence how you feel and behave. I am also trained in DBT, so I can offer you skills to cope with emotions, stress or interpersonal situations. I am happy to teach you about mindfulness as well.
Therapy with me is about providing you a safe, non-judgmental space and practical tools and clear next steps. I know it is difficult to take the first step, but browsing this website is already it. Let's take the next step together.

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.

Further information
I work mostly with clients who are struggling with emotional instability, mood swings, self-harm harm and anxiety. I will first map out your goals for therapy. We will often talk about specific behaviours or events, you can expect DBT handouts or assignments tailored directly to your needs. I also support clients long-term if they need a place to organise their thoughts and "tap into therapy".
