About me
I became a therapist because, after having recovered my own life from the effects of a difficult childhood, I believe in every person's capacity for growth and transformation. Seeing people discover their own strength, and begin to see new possibilities for their life is what I enjoy about this work. As John Schaar once put it: "The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating."
How I Work With You
I work safely and effectively with individuals and couples who are facing life's challenges - whether that's anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, trauma, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck. Through deep listening, thoughtful questions, and sharing my observations, I help people uncover the emotional and behavioural patterns that may be holding them back.
My approach is collaborative. My clients know more about their own lives than I ever could, so my role is to walk alongside them as they gain new perspectives and develop ways of responding to the world that serve them better. Everyone has the capacity to become stronger, more self-aware, and less reactive - it is just a case of finding the way, the way is different for each one of us.
What You Can Expect
A Safe, Confidential Space: Everything we discuss remains strictly confidential within the bounds of professional ethics. I'm committed to creating an environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment.
Professional Standards: I maintain regular supervision and continuing professional development to ensure I'm providing you with the highest standard of care. I'm bound by strict ethical guidelines that prioritise your wellbeing.
My Qualifications and Experience: I bring years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, depression, and major life changes. My training includes a Post Graduate Diploma in Gestalt Psychotherapy and completion of The Centre for Relational Couple's Therapy Therapeutic Work with Couples training programme. I continue to expand my skills through ongoing professional training and development.
How Therapy Can Help
Many of my clients find that therapy helps them develop better coping strategies, improve their relationships, gain clarity about their goals, and feel more confident in their daily lives.
If you're ready to begin creating the path forward that feels right for you, I'd be happy to support you on that journey. Please feel free to get in touch to arrange an initial consultation or ask any questions you might have.

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.
