About me
Have you reached a point where personal and professional obligations feel like constant demands, are simply too much and you feel lost keeping up - with no idea who you are anymore?
Maybe you’ve been in a relationship whilst in childhood or as an adult and experienced the impact of emotional neglect or domestic violence, and find it hard to trust anyone, feel angry about what happened, or scared to be yourself.
Does making yourself heard in personal and professional relationships feel stressful and frustrating, and you’d like to feel more confident?
I can help you:
- sort out your thoughts, feel less exhausted, and more in control
- explore how your past might relate to today, come to terms with what happened, and feel able to move forward
- feel more confident with others and build relationships that are more on your terms
Why work with me?
In personal therapy and during my training, I discovered how my life experiences and relationships had shaped my sense of identity. I trained further in complex trauma and domestic abuse, because I was hearing the impact these still had on my clients long after the events had taken place and wanted to help them wholeheartedly.
My clients often describe having pushed through life’s stressors and now finding themselves at a sort of breaking point, how personal and professional relationships can leave them hurt and frustrated, and describing themselves as “their own worst enemy”.
Training, and having navigated my own history which includes domestic abuse, means I will really hear you and understand the challenges you might be facing - which might include fears you have about opening up in therapy.
I’ll be with you every step of the way to finding your way back to you, with a new perspective, self-acceptance, and feeling more confident. Your life experiences are as individual as you are, and I honour that; working with you, at your pace.
There’s a joy for me when clients find space and kindness for themselves and can look at their experiences with more openness and understanding.
Training, qualifications & experience
I work in a way that fully respects the impact of trauma and I’m neuro-affirming, with lived experience of neurodivergence.
Alongside my private practice, I am a sessional counsellor in a charity supporting people who’ve experienced domestic abuse and sexual violence in child- and adulthood.
I’m also registered with several health insurance companies, and support professionals who come to me through their employee assistance programmes.
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.

I offer concessions to counselling students.
I'm recogised by a range of health insurers. If therapy is covered by your policy and you'd like to work with me, I'll need to ask you for some basic details such as your policy and authorisation numbers, before our first session.
