About me
I'm not your typical therapist. I'm approachable, professional, genuine and curious about people and their life stories. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable enough to be yourself, safe enough to be vulnerable, and supported enough to recognise your own strengths.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. Some are struggling with anxiety, trauma, loss or relationship difficulties. Others have reached a point where they're tired of carrying everything on their own or feel stuck in patterns they can no longer ignore.
Whatever brings you here, I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can speak openly and feel truly heard. Together, we can explore your experiences, make sense of what's happening, and find a way forward that feels right for you.
I am a professionally Accredited Psychotherapist, EMDR Therapist and Clinical Supervisor registered with the BACP. I work integratively, drawing on Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, CBT, EMDR and Jungian approaches, tailoring therapy to your individual needs.
I have experience supporting clients with:
Anxiety and panic
Trauma and PTSD
Bereavement and loss
Relationship difficulties
Separation and divorce
Coercive and controlling relationships
Depression and low mood
Low self-esteem and confidence
Stress and burnout
Addiction and recovery
Adoption and fostering
Child and adolescent issues
Life transitions and personal development
Alongside talking therapy, I offer EMDR, an evidence-based approach that can help process traumatic or distressing experiences that continue to affect daily life.
I also provide supervision for qualified therapists and trainees, offering a supportive and reflective space to explore clinical work safely and ethically.
I offer a free 15 minute consultation to all clients considering therapy. It enables both the client and myself to understand more about each other and how we can work positively together. I can be reached by email, telephone or text. All my details are listed. I look forward to hearing from you.
I am registered for Private Health Insurance companies too. BUPA, AXA, Aviva, Vitality & WPA.
Training, qualifications & experience
I'm an Accredited Psychotherapist, EMDR Therapist and Clinical Supervisor, registered with the BACP. I work integratively, drawing on Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, CBT, EMDR and Jungian approaches, which means I can adapt the way I work to suit you and what feels most helpful.
I've worked with both children and adults, and one thing I've learned is that no two people experience life in the same way. Each person brings their own story, strengths, struggles and hopes for the future. Whether you're facing anxiety, trauma, loss, relationship difficulties, questions around identity, or simply feeling stuck, I offer a space where you can be yourself and talk openly about what's going on for you.
I'm approachable, reflective and genuinely interested in people. I believe that being heard and understood can be incredibly powerful. Therapy shouldn't feel like a scripted conversation or a clinical process. It should feel like a space where you can pause, make sense of your experiences, recognise your strengths, and feel supported as you find your own way forward.
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.
