About me
Sometimes life can look perfectly fine from the outside while feeling anything but on the inside.
Perhaps you've become so used to coping that nobody realises how much you're struggling. You may find yourself constantly overthinking, feeling responsible for everyone else, questioning your decisions or carrying experiences that continue to affect you long after they happened. You might be living with anxiety, low mood, trauma, ADHD, relationship difficulties, grief or burnout. Or perhaps you simply have a sense that life shouldn't feel this hard.
Whatever has brought you here, I'm glad you've found your way here.
One of the things I value most about therapy is that it offers something we rarely experience in everyday life: the opportunity to slow down, feel genuinely heard and begin making sense of ourselves with curiosity rather than criticism. My role isn't to judge you or tell you who you should be. It's to understand your story, help you recognise the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and support you in creating meaningful and lasting change.
Clients often tell me they've spent years trying to "figure themselves out." They've read the books, listened to podcasts, spoken to friends and analysed every situation, yet still feel caught in the same cycles. Therapy offers something different. Together, we don't just explore what is happening - we begin to understand why. As those patterns become clearer, change often starts to feel less overwhelming and much more possible.
I work with adults experiencing a wide range of psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, perfectionism, low self-esteem, ADHD, relationship difficulties, life transitions and burnout. Many of my clients are thoughtful, caring people who are used to putting others first and holding themselves to incredibly high standards. Although they often appear to be coping, they can feel exhausted by the constant pressure they place on themselves.
My approach is integrative, which means I adapt therapy to you rather than expecting you to fit into a particular model. Drawing on evidence-based approaches including CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy, psychodynamic thinking and EMDR, I tailor our work to your individual needs, experiences and goals. Whether you're looking for practical strategies, deeper self-understanding or a combination of both, we'll work together to find an approach that feels right for you.
Alongside psychological therapy, I also offer comprehensive adult ADHD assessments for individuals seeking greater clarity about lifelong patterns of attention, organisation and executive functioning.
I hold a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society (BPS). I have experience working across both NHS and private settings and provide therapy in both English and Spanish.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), ensuring that my work adheres to the highest professional and ethical standards. I hold a Doctorate (DPsych) in Counselling Psychology from Regent’s University London, an MSc in Social Cognition from University College London (UCL), and an MA (Hons) in Psychology from The University of Edinburgh.
My clinical experience spans the NHS, leading mental health charities, and private practice. These varied experiences have given me a deep understanding of the complexities of mental health and the different ways people experience and express emotional distress.
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 HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
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).
