About me

If you are finding things difficult right now, you don’t have to carry it alone. As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I work with people navigating a wide range of life challenges.

You might be struggling with daily anxiety or depression, facing pressures at work, or dealing with deeper, more complex issues like trauma, addiction, or a sense of having lost your way. Whatever you are experiencing, I offer a steady, confidential space where we can look at it together.

We will look at your day-to-day stresses, but we will also pay attention to the underlying patterns that might be keeping you stuck. So often, we find ourselves repeating the same loops without understanding why; therapy is where we can make sense of those loops so that real change can have an opportunity to happen.

How We Begin
We start with an initial session. This is simply a low-pressure opportunity for us to meet, talk about what brings you here, and see if it feels right for us to work together. 

Please note, I am currently working only online via Google Meet

If my listed availability doesn't match your schedule, please let me know, and I will try my best to accommodate your schedule.

I aim to reply to all enquiries within 1–2 business days. (Keep an eye on your junk folder during this period, just in case)

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.
