About me
I have experience and specialise in helping clients heal from trauma and adverse childhood events, navigate relationship difficulties, patterns of attachment and help to build self-esteem and confidence.
I am down to earth and don't ever judge. My approach is insight-driven, helping clients understand how past experiences may be affecting their lives today and, more importantly, what they can do to move forward. Feeling stuck or confused in life can stop us from being the best version of ourselves, and while we can't change the past, we can most certainly influence what happens next.
I help you find solutions and relieve negative feelings, life difficulties, and problems. Counselling can help you identify changes in your thinking and behaviour, offering new options for how you live your life.
Life can feel overwhelming when you're caught in the middle of difficult emotions, strained relationships, or unresolved family issues. If you're feeling stuck, not coping or weighed down, you're not alone, and you don't have to work through it on your own. In our sessions, we'll explore what's been going on in a safe and supportive space. I won't just sit back and nod; my clients often say I help them notice patterns that hold them back and gently move in ways that feel useful.
Going through tough times and feeling down can be exhausting. In our first few sessions, we'll look at what's been going on and what might help you get back on track. Most clients start noticing improvement and change soon into our work together.

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.

Further information
Many of the individuals I support are carrying the weight of past trauma, adverse childhood experiences or challenging relationships. As a psychodynamic relational therapist what happens in counselling is to help you connect past experiences with present day struggles, in order to create positive change.. While we can't change the past, we most certainly can influence what comes next
