About me

I offer a calm, welcoming space where there's no rush and no judgement - just time and room to talk, to breathe, and to start making sense of what's going on for you. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, carrying grief or loss, working through past trauma, or finding relationships difficult, including the one with yourself, I'm here to help you find some clarity and a way forward.

With years of experience, I work in a way that's personal to you - drawing on a range of approaches including body-based (somatic) work, so that wheat we do together isn't just about talking, but about helping you feel the difference in your everyday life too. You'll leave sessions with practical tools and better understanding of yourself, not just insight that stays in the room.

It's a real collaboration. We'll figure out together what helps, what doesn't, and what you actually need - this is your process, and I'm here to support it.

If anything here resonates, I'd love to hear from you. Get in touch and we can have a chat to see if we're a good fit - no pressure, no commitment.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, Somatic Trauma Therapy and Advanced Diploma in Transpersonal Theory.  I do regular continued professional development training, which forms an important part of my practice. 

A previous career working as a Holistic Therapist / Reflexologist has given me a wealth of knowledge around health and wellbeing as well as experience working within drug and alcohol recovery treatment centres, both in the UK and Portugal.

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

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
