About me
Sessions can be online or face to face depending on your preference.
I offer psychotherapy for people who want to understand what’s really driving their patterns, not just manage symptoms, but make sense of what’s going on at a deeper level. This can support meaningful, lasting change, particularly for those navigating trauma, issues of self-worth, relationship difficulties, or fertility experiences.
Clients often come to me with anxiety, overwhelm or low mood, but underneath this we are usually working with deeper patterns shaped by trauma, life experiences, and the body’s stress response.
Many of the people I work with have already spent time trying to think their way out of things or push through, but still find themselves repeating the same experiences in relationships, feeling overwhelmed, or stuck in ways they can’t quite shift.
My work focuses on understanding how past experiences, relationships, and internal patterns are shaping your life now. From there, change becomes possible. Not through quick techniques, but through developing a clearer understanding of yourself and how you relate to others.
With over 30 years’ experience, I work in a way that is thoughtful, relational, grounded, and direct when needed. I don’t offer surface level solutions, but a space where we can properly explore what’s going on and work towards meaningful change.
Where appropriate, I can also integrate acupuncture, particularly where stress, anxiety, or trauma are held in the body as well as the mind.
I am a BACP accredited counsellor experienced in working with all age groups including children, teenagers, adults, older adults and couples.
As a coach I work with neurodiverse clients including specialist adhd coaching and counselling, fully DWP compliant.
I work with clients experiencing:
- ongoing patterns in relationships
- anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional intensity
- the impact of past experiences or trauma
- fertility, identity, and significant life transitions
- a sense of being stuck despite insight and awareness
- Often, clients come with an awareness that something isn’t working, but without a clear understanding of why. Our work focuses on making sense of these patterns and creating the conditions for meaningful change.
Part of my therapy practice includes specialist fertility counselling to support men, women and couples experiencing fertility issues as well as carry out implications counselling for egg/sperm/embryo donors and recipients.
As a Barnardos trained adoption counsellor I am qualified to provide counselling to adults who have an adoption experience including adoptees, adoptors and other family members such as siblings or grandparents.
I am also a qualified Clinical Supervisor providing supervision, training and support to counsellors, nurses, acupuncturists, head teachers and teaching staff. Please email or call to discuss your needs.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Trained and experienced in working with adult survivors of childhood abuse. Using my trauma three stage training I am able to help survivors to learn grounding techniques and staying present in order to process their trauma which leads to less flashbacks, dissociation and disconnection, less anxiety and depression and eventually leading to a happier life.
I offer coaching to clients who feel stuck in their careers and those who feel unsure what path to take next in life. This can be a highly rewarding and challenging process yet produces a shift and change that allows clearer direction and movement in life.
One of my joys is working with students undertaking counselling training. I offer supervision or counselling and provide a safe, caring and educative space that enables the student to feel supported and valued....and less daunted by the challenges of the training !
