About me
Hello and welcome. I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist, holding qualifications in psychotherapy, psychological trauma, and the neuroscience of psychology. I have successfully supported clients both across the UK and internationally through online sessions and can offer a safe therapeutic space either in person or online, according to your preference.
Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially if it’s your first time or you’ve had a negative experience before. You may even have tried using an accessible AI chatbot, only to find it didn’t provide the support you were hoping for. What you type to an AI is just one aspect of your story; the rest often remains hidden. Together, we can gently uncover those deeper layers and explore them in a safe and supportive environment.
Perhaps you’re dealing with loss, anxiety, low mood, or the effects of a difficult relationship or childhood. I understand how overwhelming life’s challenges can be, and how they may cause you to lose sight of who you are. My goal is to help you navigate these challenges with gentleness and reconnect with a sense of self and balance.
Imagine living with a greater sense of contentment, security, and peace. My approach is rooted in compassion, attentive listening, and evidence-based knowledge. I am here to support you as you work towards inner harmony and a life that feels more fulfilling.
In our sessions, you can expect a warm, confidential, and supportive space where you are free to express whatever is on your mind—even the things you may feel are unsayable. I always work at your pace, respecting your values, beliefs, and culture, so you feel safe and understood throughout our time together.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me to book an initial session. I look forward to meeting 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.
