About me
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem or difficult life experiences begin to affect your relationships, confidence or everyday wellbeing. You don't have to face it alone.
I'm a qualified therapist offering a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and work towards meaningful, lasting change. I tailor therapy to your individual needs, helping you understand the root of your difficulties rather than simply managing the symptoms.
I have a particular specialism in supporting survivors of sexual violence and abuse. I understand the profound impact these experiences can have on emotional wellbeing, relationships, self-worth and daily life. Therapy provides a safe, confidential space to process what has happened at your own pace, helping you regain a sense of safety, control and confidence.
Having completed my EMDR training, I also offer Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach that helps many people process traumatic experiences, reduce anxiety and move forward from distressing memories. EMDR can be particularly effective for trauma, including the effects of sexual violence, childhood abuse and other distressing experiences.
I work with adults experiencing:
- Anxiety and panic
- Trauma and PTSD
- Sexual violence and abuse
- Childhood trauma
- Stress and burnout
- Low self-esteem and confidence
- Relationship difficulties
- Grief and loss
- Depression
- Life transitions
My approach is collaborative, compassionate and tailored to you. Whether you're looking to understand long-standing patterns, recover from difficult experiences or simply feel more like yourself again, we'll work together at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
Taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting, so I offer a welcoming, confidential environment where you can decide whether we're the right fit. If you'd like to arrange an initial conversation, I'd be happy to hear from 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.
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
Counselling does not have to be a last resort or something that is accessed at breaking point. Many people access therapy to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. Its a place for reflection and growth - wherever you are on your journey, I am ready to support you.
You don’t have to have it all figured out, a short chat can help you decide whether therapy feels right for you.
If you’d like to talk things through, please get in touch to arrange a free 15-minute consultation via Counselling Directory, email or telephone.
If my availability on the introductory calls does not meet yours, please get in touch and I will always try and find a suitable time to chat.
