About me
Find Your Way Forward
- Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself?
- Maybe you are constantly worrying or overthinking and finding it difficult to make decisions.
- Perhaps you are struggling with your relationships, your confidence, or the weight of something you’ve been carrying for a long time.
- You may have lost your motivation or no longer find much enjoyment in life.
When life starts to feel this way it can be scary and unsettling.
Whatever has brought you here, please know that change is possible. Therapy can give you the space to understand what’s happening for you, reconnect with yourself and begin to work out what you need to move forward.
How I can help
I believe therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be yourself, understood for who you are and supported without judgement. Our relationship is at the heart of my work, and I will take the time to get to know you, listen carefully and understand your experience from your perspective. Together, we can explore what is happening for you, understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck and find ways to manage difficult thoughts, feelings and experiences. You don’t need to know where to start, have everything worked out or come to therapy with a clear plan. We can begin with where you are.
I work from an integrative model of therapy, which means I use a variety of therapeutic approaches that are tailored to your specific needs. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, and I believe you should have a voice in how we work together. I work in a trauma-informed way and may draw on somatic practices, mindfulness and creative approaches, depending on what feels helpful and appropriate for you. I also use neuroscience-informed, evidence-based interventions to help you understand anxiety, stress and your body's responses, so that you can begin to feel more grounded and develop ways of managing what you are experiencing.
I bring warmth, compassion and a calm presence. I won’t tell you who you should be or what you should do. Instead, I will support you to understand yourself more deeply, recognise your own strengths and develop greater trust in yourself and your ability to make choices that feel right for you. The strengths and resources within you that may be difficult to see when life feels overwhelming.
A Space to Pause
Life can be noisy, fast and demanding. We are constantly connected, yet many of us can feel more disconnected than ever. I provide a quiet, gentle haven away from the noise and demands of everyday life. Somewhere you don't have to be productive, hold everything together or look after everyone else. Somewhere you can bring the things that may be difficult to say out loud and know that you will be met with compassion and understanding.
Free Introductory Call
If you’re considering therapy but feeling unsure about taking the first step, I offer a FREE 20-minute introductory call. We can talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re looking for and any questions you may have. It’s a relaxed, informal conversation and if you are happy to move forwards we can arrange our first session.

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.
