About me
I am an experienced trauma-informed psychotherapist with qualifications from the University of Warwick, the University of Nottingham, and the University of Chester. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, I have worked online effectively with clients nationally and worldwide. I hold a cyber counselling qualification from the Online Therapy Institute. Sessions in person, if you prefer, are also available.
Imagine a life where you feel content, emotionally secure, and peaceful. With compassion, skilled listening, knowledge, and experience I will support you to find this inner harmony and a sense of a more fulfilled life.
Perhaps you have suffered from loss, anxiety, low mood, or have been caught in an unhealthy or controlling relationship or challenging childhood. I am aware that adversity and other life difficulties can often lead to a sense of overwhelm and a loss of sense of self, which can be very hard to navigate.
In our therapeutic sessions, I will support you in finding your way toward a more peaceful, balanced, and content life. I will always strive to offer you a trusting, confidential, and safe space where you can say the “unsayable” and open the “unopenable”.
I appreciate that therapy may feel daunting, especially if this is your first time considering this route, or had an unhelpful previous experience. I will always aim to follow your pace and gently hold your emotions while respecting your values, beliefs, and your culture ensuring you feel safe in our therapeutic space.
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.
