About me

Reaching out for help can feel scary, but if things feel overwhelming or heavy, you don't have to carry that around alone.

Whether you are dealing with a knot of anxiety, struggling with resurfacing trauma. Feeling misunderstood or or are stuck in painful patterns with your partner, you are welcome exactly as you are.

I also have over 10 years experience working across schools focusing on SEND, complex behaviour, and EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance), I offer a rare bridge between clinical therapeutic support and practical advocacy. If your child is struggling to cope, I will hold a safe space for them while helping you navigate the exhausting, gruelling processes of EHCPs and institutional waiting lists.

Areas of support include:

  • Neurodiversity: Affirming support for ADHD and Autism (both formally diagnosed and self-diagnosed)
  • School EBSA and issues
  • Trauma & CPTSD
  • Anxiety & Burnout
  • Work-related stress and anxiety 
  • Depression
  • Couples Therapy

I will meet you exactly where you are. You deserve a space where you can finally let your guard down and feel truly heard.

Training, qualifications & experience

  • Level 5 Diploma in Counselling
  • CBT therapist
  • Art Therapy

Over 7 years experience working in schools as a qualified teacher and SEND specialist, as well as a school counsellor for secondary ages and a placement of over 150 hour working for our local hospice with Grief and Loss.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
