About me
I’m a UKCP-registered psychotherapist offering short and long-term therapy for adults in Leeds.
I became a psychotherapist because having therapy changed my life and made me want to help other people in the same way.
I’d like to help you to understand yourself better, make links between your past and present, and spot patterns in the ways you think, feel and behave. What happens between us in therapy will tell us a lot about what happens for you out in the world – and because I’m a relational therapist, I believe we can make use of that.
Working this way helps me support you to make positive changes in your life.
I like working with all kinds of people including those with unconventional lifestyles, neurodivergent people and others who feel they may not quite fit into mainstream society. I also enjoy working with people who are using other healing practices, such as breathwork.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed a four-year diploma in Relational Integrative Psychotherapy, and have undertaken specialist training in working with neurodivergence and with trauma. I continue learning and developing through further training and supervision.
Previously, I worked as a manager at a charity providing counselling for marginalised women and have also worked in inner-city communities, with homeless people, and in mental health services.
I’ve spent most of my life working with people, and have always been interested in how we’re affected by our experiences — as children and as adults — and what support we all need to live happier and more meaningful lives.
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 UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
