About me

I offer relational, integrative counselling and therapy. My practice is grounded in the belief that healing is a relational process. Coming to therapy is an incredibly vulnerable thing to do and my priority is to create a therapeutic relationship that feels as holding as possible. I recognise how hard it can be to take that first step and ask for help, either because we feel scared, ashamed, or unfamiliar with therapy itself. It is crucial that you feel free to explore whatever you need to within our sessions, and I strive to offer a space where you feel able to do this. 

I have experience working with a variety of mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, suicidal ideation, attachment, grief, psychosis, identity challenges, body image, substance abuse/addiction, and OCD. I have a particular focus on working with neurodivergent individuals as well as those in the queer community.

In terms of which type of therapy I offer, my practice is largely an integration of relational and psychodynamic therapy, meaning that much of our work will explore how past experiences may be affecting you in the present, with a focus on your relational experiences, both past and present. Alongside this, I incorporate bodywork as a way to access trauma or emotions through the body. I am also aware of the inherently Eurocentric nature of many traditional therapy modalities and endeavour to work from an anti-oppressive framework. 

In my previous role, I worked as an Intuitive Eating Counsellor and Body Image Coach. I supported clients in healing from disordered eating and body image challenges from an anti-diet, anti-oppressive, and Health at Every Size framework. I also have a background working within the NHS as a Counsellor and Health and Wellbeing Coach.

I offer a free, 20 minute consultation for new clients, either over the phone or via video call. Please email me if you would like to arrange this.

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.

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).
