About me
Relationships can bring us some of our deepest experiences of connection, but they can also be where we feel most alone, misunderstood or disconnected from ourselves.
You may find yourself repeating the same arguments, reaching for reassurance, withdrawing when things become too much, struggling to express what you need, or experiencing loneliness even when you are surrounded by others.
I work with individuals and couples who want to understand what is happening within themselves and between them.
With curiosity, we explore patterns of connection and attachment, including the ways you may have learned to protect yourself when closeness, vulnerability or uncertainty feel difficult. I may invite you to slow down and notice what is happening in the present moment, emotionally and within your body, rather than only talking about the experience.
I also support people navigating anxiety, loss, life transitions and periods of feeling disconnected from themselves. Sometimes the work is not about returning to who you were before, but connecting with who you are now.
You set the pace. I will meet you there with compassion, curiosity and care, while gently supporting you towards deeper connection with yourself and others.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor, with additional training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT).
My practice is person-centred at its foundation, with an attachment-informed and relational lens. I primarily draw from emotion-focused, somatic and existential approaches, alongside Internal Family Systems (IFS).
I also integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), including mindfulness and present-moment awareness, where this supports the work.
I bring three years of trauma-informed counselling experience alongside over six years of experience in solution-focused coaching, somatic practice and meditation.
My particular interest is relational work exploring connection, attachment, emotional patterns and what happens both within us and between us.
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.

Further information
In-person sessions are held in a calm and welcoming therapy room on the ground floor of my home, offering a comfortable and private space for our work together. The environment is pet-free to ensure minimal distractions. I also offer evening and weekend appointments to make therapy as accessible as possible.
