About me
Sometimes, the things we have experienced don't simply stay in the past.
You may have become very good at carrying on, telling yourself to “just get on with it,” while underneath feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected or constantly on edge. Perhaps you know something is affecting you, but aren't quite sure why — or how to change it.
I specialise in trauma-informed therapy with adults and teenagers, helping people understand the impact of difficult experiences and find new ways of managing emotions, relationships and life's challenges.
Alongside my private practice, I am a Clinical Lead for a therapeutic agency, as well as a member of the Complex Trauma Institute. I have extensive experience supporting people experiencing trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship challenges and identity concerns. I have a particular understanding of how trauma can affect our sense of safety, confidence, relationships and ability to cope.
Therapy with me is tailored to you. It isn't about forcing you to revisit painful experiences or talk about things before you're ready. Together, we can gently explore what has happened, understand how it may still be affecting you, and develop practical and emotional tools to help you feel more grounded, confident and in control.
I also work extensively with neurodivergent people, including those with dyslexia, dyspraxia, autism and ADHD, as well as LGBTQ+ people and those exploring their gender identity.
I currently offer a Saturday morning clinic, with limited availability.
Taking the first step can feel daunting. You don't need to have everything figured out. Sometimes, the first step is simply having a conversation.
You've already come this far. Perhaps it's time to go a little further and reach out?

Member organisations
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.
