About me
I’m an integrative counsellor offering a safe, respectful, and non-judgemental space where we can explore what’s troubling you at a pace that feels right for you. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, low self-worth, trauma, grief, or feeling stuck in repeating patterns, I’ll work alongside you with warmth and curiosity, supporting you to make sense of things in a way that feels empowering and grounded.
Working integratively means with a person-centred foundation and informed by the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), which is a trauma-informed approach that combines both cognitive and body-based awareness.
Rather than retelling what happened in the past, NARM gently brings focus to how those early experiences may still be shaping the way you relate to yourself, others, and the world today. Together, we explore patterns like shame, self-criticism or emotional disconnection, not to pathologise, but to understand them as ways you learned to protect yourself.
We work with the present moment, creating space for clarity, connection, and new choices to emerge at your own pace.

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.
