About me
#
I work with individuals one-to-one, not couples. That means you can speak completely openly, without managing how it lands for someone else in the room, or worrying about being ganged up on. It also means the focus stays where change actually happens - on your own patterns and choices, rather than on hoping your partner simply forgives and moves on. Many clients, especially those working to rebuild trust they've broken, find they can be far more honest and make far more progress when the work is entirely theirs.
After a betrayal, it's tempting to disappear into apology - to become endlessly compliant, agreeable, and careful, with no needs, wants or requests of your own, hoping that eventually it will be enough. It rarely is, and it isn't real change. Rebuilding trust isn't about erasing yourself; it's about becoming someone with a clear sense of what you want and need, who can hold that alongside genuine accountability. That's where lasting change - and a relationship worth having - actually comes from.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a BSc (Hons) in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy from the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute, and have worked in private practice for several years, supporting individuals with sex, intimacy and communication within their relationships.
I've trained and continue to consult with Martha Kauppi, an internationally recognised expert in sexual health and relational dynamics, deepening my understanding of desire, attachment and the complexities of modern relationships, including consensual non-monogamy.
Many of the people I work with are navigating differences in sexual desire. I work from the understanding that there's no single "normal" level of desire — it's shaped by biology, stress, relational dynamics, past experience and emotional safety. Together, we explore what intimacy means for you and how to build a more authentic, satisfying connection.
I also hold a Diploma in Sex and Porn Addiction Counselling, and work regularly with clients recovering from affairs, betrayal, and compulsive or out-of-control sexual behaviour. Whatever form it took - a physical affair, secret messaging, pornography use that's taken over - therapy offers space to understand what's driving it, reduce shame, and develop healthier ways of coping and relating.
Alongside this, I work with many neurodivergent clients, including autistic and ADHD
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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.

Further information
I work from a private, comfortable office in the PE6 area of Peterborough, offering a calm, welcoming space where you can talk openly. I also offer online sessions across the UK, so you can choose whatever feels most comfortable.
It's completely normal to feel nervous at first, most people do. The first session is relaxed and conversational. I'll invite you to share a bit about your life, your relationships, and what's been feeling difficult. There's no pressure to say everything perfectly, we go at a pace that feels right for you.
Over time, our work focuses on helping you make sense of what's happening, get clearer on what you want, and begin approaching things differently — both in how you understand yourself and how you communicate with others.
Many people find that as things start to make sense, they feel lighter, more confident, and more hopeful about the direction their relationships can take.
