About me
Have you experienced trauma, or are you and your partner struggling to reconnect?
Life happens to all of us — sometimes it’s good, and sometimes it feels overwhelming. A relationship breaks down, something happened to us that we’ve never fully processed, or we simply don’t feel able to cope with the challenges we’re currently facing. Trauma doesn’t always look dramatic from the outside; often it’s the quiet weight of something from childhood or adulthood that keeps shaping how we relate to ourselves and others. And relationships — even strong ones — can reach a point where two people love each other but can’t find their way back to each other.
I work closely with both individuals recovering from trauma and couples navigating disconnection, conflict, or crisis. Whether you’re an adult survivor of childhood abuse, carrying the effects of a difficult experience, or a couple who feel you’ve drifted apart, counselling offers a space to understand what’s happening and find a way through.
Trauma work
Trauma can shape the patterns we don’t even realise we’re repeating — in relationships, in how we see ourselves, in what feels safe. Together, we work to understand where these patterns originated, often in childhood, and how they’re playing out now. This isn’t about reliving pain for its own sake; it’s about making sense of it so it no longer runs the show.
Couples work
I work closely with both individuals recovering from trauma and couples navigating disconnection, conflict, or crisis. Whether you’re an adult survivor of childhood abuse, carrying the effects of a difficult experience, or a couple who feel you’ve drifted apart, counselling offers a space to understand what’s happening and find a way through.
I also offer both short and long-term counselling to adults 18+ around bereavement, anxiety, depression, and other life difficulties — because life rarely arrives in one neat category, and many of the people I see are carrying more than one thing at once.
A safe, confidential space
Counselling offers a unique environment — safe, non-judgemental, and completely confidential — to talk through what you’re facing. We look at the patterns of thought and behaviour that aren’t working for you, understand where they come from, and work together toward healthier ways of living.
When was the last time someone asked how you really were, and stayed to listen for the answer? Please get in touch to see how I can help.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an experienced Psychodynamic counsellor with specialist training in Couples and Other Relationship Therapy and Trauma, alongside a Certificate in Bereavement Counselling and Certificate in CBT Skills. Psychodynamic counselling is, simply put, about making the unconscious conscious — together we look at patterns of behaviour rooted in childhood and how they play out in adulthood, so we can understand their impact and move toward healthier ways of being.
My qualifications include a Foundation Certificate and Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling, a Certificate in Couples and Other Relationship Therapy, a Certificate in Trauma, a Certificate in Bereavement Counselling, a Certificate in CBT Skills, and The BACP Certificate of Proficiency. I am a registered member of the BACP and regularly attend CPD training, including PTSD Master classes, Bereavement and Trauma, CBT, and Couples & Relationship Therapy.
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.
