About me
Hello and welcome!
Does your mind feel like it never switches off?
Maybe you’re caught in constant chatter in your head, replaying every conversation, worrying about what other people think, or stuck in endless “what ifs.” You might overthink every interaction, compare yourself to others and wish things could be different.
You’re not alone — and things can change.
I’m a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist offering a calm, compassionate space for you to make sense of your thoughts and feelings. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that drive your worry, self-criticism, or anxiety, and work toward more balanced, kinder ways of thinking.
For a long time, I believed strong people just got on with it. Now I know that real strength comes from being vulnerable, slowing down, and learning to understand yourself.
Therapy can help you quiet the noise, learn about you, and find hope in the process of change.
I have worked within the social care sector for over twenty-five years, supporting people both in times of crisis and when they are struggling to make sense of their lives.
As a parent of two grown up neurodiverse daughters (one AS and the other ADHD) I am aware of some of the challenges faced by both individuals and families.
I am very aware that we are all unique and so is the way we respond to challenges. Where appropriate, therefore I will bring in aspects of other therapeutic modalities to create a tailored approach that works for you.

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.
